See "Winter Squash" a quilt by Maren Johnston

This quilt is Winter Squash (90" x 73") by Maren Johnston of Santa Barbara, California, US. Honorable Mention, Abstract-Large, category sponsored by Elna.

Artist's Statement: "Organically grown vegetables from our garden are the inspiration for this quilt. I love the tangle of vine and leaf as these hearty plants take over a plot. Sometimes, the mystery squash emerging from the compost pile can produce the tastiest fruit. Freely cut and then pieced, this original design was started in a Nancy Crow class."

Winter Squash by Maren Johnston was part of the Abstract Large exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston 2018.

I love this quilt too and my next quilt is definitely going to be improvised and abstract. Even though I’m known for my quilting I am going to try every style of quilting and every technique I can. Thank you for the squash inspiration.

I took a class from Nancy Crow years ago and loved it. Have 4 quilts that were started in that class.

I met this incredibly talented artist at Sisters this year. I love her design and color sense.

This is wonderful. I'm looking at my fading vegetable garden now and can see the inspiration.

I love this quilt! The is so much movement flowing across this quilt with all of the irregular shapes and curves. The color selection reminds me of fall. It is easy to see why this quilt was recognized.
