Quilting is "Therapy" ~An Amazing Quilt by Betty Pillsbury~

Betty's quilt, Therapy, saw her through relationship difficulties, a flood, five surgeries, and two auto-immune diseases. Concentrating on the beauty of the materials and technique helped her to remember there is beauty in the world and this quilt reflects that beauty.

A photo of the quilt can be found under the video.

Thank you all for the very kind words. Yes, the leaves around the central border are beetle wings.

What a lovely quilt. I can understand why it was therapy. The leaves on the roses that are around the central fan, look like beetle wing cases? Are they?
I have a small box full and have never known what they could be used for. So inspiring. Thank you.

Thank you, Betty. I saw a leaf on your quilt that I have never seen before. I must go make one right now so I have it in hand as my memory is not what it used to be.
Beautiful work.

This is so beautiful. And, interestingly, so symmetrical. Much planning went into her design.
