Merrill's quilt..........

Merrill is another of the art quilters.  She makes very unique quilts.  Every block has some 3-D effect on it.
















I took several close photos so you could see the details better.









She used a huge variety of African fabrics in this quilt.









You would have to see this quilt in person to really appreciate all of the 3-D parts.

Merrill, your quilt is amazing, and I can't begin to imagine how tedious and time consuming this labor of love, took to complete. Thank you Wanda for sharing with us. Enjoy your day.

This is truly a story quilt. The women in this quilt look like they could turn towards the viewer and tell a story of their lives and community. The materials, embellishments and design all indicate that this quilt has much to say about the inner lives of those portrayed.

OMG, I love this. I’ve been to Africa and made an embellished African-themed quilt before, so this really speaks to my heart. Beautiful work, Merrill!

I was quite shocked to see this quilt on Pinterest. I see it was first posted on the quilt makers blog in 2018. The reason was that I made a very similar quilt over ten years ago, totally original and here it is turning up made by another quilter with changes but basically the same. I guess I should choose to be flattered rather than upset.What is the saying? copying is the sincerest form of flattery?
