A 12X12 quilt from the Pixeladies 06-05-16

This is a "rerun" of a quilt that became part of TCQC in 2009, the early years of the SAQA online auction.   It is a collaboration of the Pixeladies (Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki) who continue to create together today.   I was intrigued by the juxtaposition of the jeans belt loops and the large circular "mend" with a rivet in the middle.  I didn't see the back until the quilt came in the mail.  It is extra special to have the story and the picture as back art. 
 
"Levi Strauss"  Pixeladies (Deb Cashatt & Kris Sazaki)  2009  12"x12"
Jeans fabric, cotton fabric, cotton thread, cotton batting, copper rivet.
Machine pieced and quilted.  Computer printed on fabric for label.

It is really about the rivet - see the label on the back.

 With the jeans fabric and the dense quilting this is a heavy quilt that lays flat on the wall.
 

And even a family connection.

What a treat for you to find this on the back of the quilt!

Thanks for showing this again, Del. It's nice to visit old quilts that we've forgotten. We almost always have a back that's somehow related to the quilt front. I think that would be a great blog post. Thanks for turning on the light bulb.
