Elizabeth Barton quilt in TCQC 10-14-12

This small quilt was purchased at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles fundraising auction in 2010.   It is one of five of Elizabeth's quilts in the Collection and not even the smallest. 

 
"Village Street #1"  Elizabeth Barton - Athens, GA 2009  15.5"W x 13.25"L 
Hand dyed cotton shibori, rayon and cotton threads, cotton backing.
 
This detail shows the shibori dyeing and Elizabeth's machine quilting.
 
There is no label, instead she has hand stitched her name on the front...
 
...and also hand stitched the quilt title on the front.
 
The back shows the faced binding and the machine quilting.
