This quilt was made as part of a group challenge. The subject was Famous Female Faces. Our group won first place at AQS in Grand Rapids. I had never made an art quilt before so it was a real challenge for me. The face is appliqued with hand dyed fabric and partially hand painted. The headdress is embellished with ruffled tulle.
