Daisy and the Cruiser
This quilt is an unexpected combination because of the use of scale. Created in a Barbara Olson workshop, the subjects were chosen for this piece because of their similarity in shape as well as theme. Daisies and bicycle wheels both spoke out and the matching elipses reinforce this. Thematically, they relate to remind one that happiness is not a destination but a mode of travel. Predominately machine pieced with hand applique in the springs of the bicycle seat.
