Created as a class project with quilt artist/instructor, Coreen Zerr of Nanaimo, B.C. This strip pieced technique incorporates a variety of African fabrics, batiks and cottons. Thread play and free motion quilting includes black metallic, variegated cotton and embroidery threads. The sunrise is based upon a photograph taken on Vancouver Island by her friend. Coincidentally, resembles the view from my own window.
