By Heart and Hand

1985 - 77"x87"

In l984 the St. Louis Art Museum held a special American Folk Art exhibit called "By Heart and Hand." I fell in love with a Whig's Defeat quilt in the exhibit, and this was my attempt to recreate the quilt. I added diamonds to the top and bottom of the quilt to make it fit better on the bed.
