Sunday again and another quilt from the Collection. I purchased this one from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, CO, when I was traveling. I think the exhibit was of quilts made by members of the Front Range Quilters, a large Colorado guild that tends toward art quilts. I was attracted to the theme, the unusual color, and the interesting technique.
"An Exaltation of Larks" Mary Quinn - Colorado 2010 33"W X 67"L
Cotton fabric, paint/ink, cotton batting, cotton thread.
Deconstructed silk screen, hand applique, inking, machine quilting.
This is really a whole cloth quilt with the exception of this nest with it's soft blue eggs appliqued a the lower left.
:Many details if you look close. The larks with their beaks open all have musical notes coming out of their beaks.
I looked at my blog posts back to 2010 and discovered that I have never posted this quilt before! Don't know why not, guess it was sort of lost in the 360+ quilts in the Collection. I wonder if there are others that I haven't posted.

Pleased you found this wonderful quilt....I can hear the larks singing!!! Enjoy your day.
Nice quilt! Do you know/have any idea how the barbed wire and reeds were made? I can understand dye discharge, but am curious about the dark lines around them.
