May I Rejoice?
Finished Size: 14" x 23"

Inspired by a sculpture in the ZimSculpt exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum, I created May I Rejoice?
After a particularly difficult season of life, I continue to remind myself to be joyful, to rejoice, and to find peace as I walk through life.
It took me several days of thinking about May I? to settle on a concept for the quilt. The concept changed from an abstract cubist design to the applique design. Part of the reason for the change was the fabric choices. The fabric is from my mother's collection. Once I found the fabrics, the background piece was a perfect size to hold an applique of the girl.
I decided on needle turn applique for a more polished look. The lace detail, buttons, and embroidery thread shoe ribbons added a more realistic look to the figure.
The three-layer piece is hand quilted.
