Mary Quinn quilt from Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collecion 07-02-23

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 in 2011.   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. 

With the exception of the wings all of the white parts are a result of deconstructed silk screen, including the barbed wire. 

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.
