Quilt Festival LBeach #7 08-04-09

This quilt is from the special exhibit "The Silver Screen II" which only had nine quilts. I think this is the best one.

I do wonder if Sally had a class with Pamela Allen, or perhaps is an admirer, because this resembles some of Pamela's work.

Especially Gloria's right eye. Pamela has many eyes printed on fabric which she uses in her own individual style. Good fabric choices in this one.

This quilt was in the Tactile Architecture exhibit and it is very different from the others shown. I think it is a very original idea for a design and, therefore, a very original quilt.
Showing the road as dashed yellow lines really works, I get the feeling of "no way out".

Most of the "blocks" don't have a realistic image, but here in the upper left is surely a golf flag and maybe a rain shelter?
And here is a bit of a house on the top right. She has used many fabrics collected over years - I recognize some of them! Also in this block is a fabric with words - letters home?
