Collage Quilts

I make different kinds of collage quilts. Some are my designs, some are from photos, but these days, most are abstract. This abstract collage quilting is my technique and I call it “organic color” collage. Here, it is all about color and how one color connects to another. To me, color stands for positive energy and I trust the flow of the colors can create the ultimate design of the quilt. Colors tell stories.

I make these quilts for my enjoyment, but some are available for purchase or can be given away to charity. Please contact me to discuss. I also make organic color collage as a commission. You can contact me to discuss an organic color collage commission in the colors of your choice.

In Paradiso, 45" x 29"

Dealing with my mother's situation, I made this quilt. The colors are inspired by Italian Renaissance frescoes we saw together so often. I chose a Latin name for that reason. Also, "in" means in Latin not only "in" but also "to".
