SUN RAINBOW SPARROW PHASE BASSOON
 

I can write: It's a new Phase

SUN is in the yellow squares

RAINBOW is in the multicolored thread

Lonely SPARROW "Il passero solitario" is a poem by the important Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi, written on the quilt by machine

BASSOON, a musical instrument is represented in the musical fabric

PHASE is in the title of the quilt

I really started to project my quilt when I realized I could write those words onto fabric. Since then I changed a lot of ideas before the final decision, but always played with written words. The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted, using cotton, silk and linen.

The quilt measures ~ 26 x 30 inch
