This quilt has a base of hand-dyed fabric with the large bird having a crazy-quilted body; the smaller birds are made of silk. The faces are printed on fabric and are by the artist, Amadeo Modigliani, an Italian artist and sculptor, a favorite of mine.
This quilt is a departure from my usual type of quilt, being rather surreal with a bit of fantasy.
My ongoing love affair with having interesting quilt backs continues. The back of this quilt has a mini-biography of Modigliani as well as the traditional quiltmaker's label. See the pictures at the side - although being able to read them may not be achievable.
