The 2017 Donation Quilt “Postcards from Home”
The Etcetera Art Quilt Group challenged themselves to create a quilted work of art using an improvisational style. Each member created “blocks” to be sliced and diced and reassembled into a pleasing arrangement. Members paired off and developed layouts independently and the group voted unanimously on this design. The result is a stunning piece with bold colors and organic movement. Donna Akins did the quilting.
