A quilt by Joe Cunningham
68" x 70"
Reading the story of Iphigenia’s sacrifice at Aulis to placate Diana so that the Greek fleet could sail to Troy, I was inspired to make a quilt for her. For the quilting design I created a fleet of Greek triremes over the entire surface.
Hand dyed fabrics, fabric from Ghana and simple commercial cotton fabrics all work together to create the background for the hand-made bias tape designs in the foreground.
The quilt, signed with Joe’s embroidered signature, comes with a four-inch hanging sleeve, Certificate of Authenticity, and a custom cotton bag. Shipping and insurance are free to a domestic US address.
