This dramatic quilt was made by Margaret Hunt of South Carolina in 1998. I purchased it in 2003. The story behind it is that Margaret's guild had a challenge that required using black and white fabrics plus one other fabric. When she turned in her quilt they said "No, you used more than one other fabric." So, she showed them the multicolor batik she had used and embellished with thread painting in several different colors. There is a piece of the batik attached to the back along with the label. When Margaret's friends saw the quilt they declared that the tiger looks like her husband! I've always wanted to meet that guy!
