No Schlafen, schlafen

No Schlafen, schlafen - I made this quilt developed around the wonderful wolf fabric. I loved the way the wolves were running through the woods and wanted to echo this in the piecing so the viewer would have the sensation that the wolves were running out of the quilt toward the viewer. I used " tree fabrics" in the upper part of the quilt and " snow fabrics" in the lower part of the quilt to reinforce the emergence of the wolves through the woods. I named this quilt "No schlafen, schlafen" for my walking friend Laila Wulff Weil a lover of wolveswho walks through the woods twice daily to meet me to walk. "No schlafen" means "Don't be lazy!"
