Roots by Sandro Salomon
I finally finished this quilt top, about a million hand sewn hexagons. It’s about 40” x 40” and will become a quilt for Welcome Blanket, an organization that gives handmade blankets to immigrants to welcome them into the USA. I started it the day Trump got elected, but it took me this long because I had carpal tunnel syndrome and surgeries for it.
I wanted the colors to look like a bowl of jelly beans.
Still working on this! It's taking forever, but it's moving along.
