Charlotte Bird quilt from 2004 06-24-18

There are several Charlotte Bird quilts in the Collection, but this was the first.  It was in a Visions exhibit in 2004.  I was hooked.  

Charlotte with her quilt Porous Square.  2004

"Porous Square"  Charlotte Bird - San Diego  2003    38“W x 37”L
Cotton fabric, thread, batting.
Fused, machine quilted. 

I have faded out this image so you can see how the red quilting goes from edge to edge, winding its way through the pebbles.  A wonderful thing to make a quilt that looks great from afar and yields up a surprise when viewed close up.

You say "I was hooked," and she has been worth taking the bait and following! She doesn't stick to one thing, and is always interesting. That's a nice "starter" piece.
