This is the first quilt in my series, Stained Glass Mosaics. This quilt has 66 different commercial fabrics, none of them repeated, in this compact quilt. The center of the quilt has a stained glass effect produced by the black bias tape separating each piece of fabric. The quilt is hand quilted in a spiral design starting in each of the four corners and in the center of the quilt. The spirals spill out into the grey "explosion" background. Traditional unbleached muslin is used for the backing. Signed and dated by the textile artist.

Quilts were originally created to provide warmth in cold climates. Now quilts have come off the bed and become textile artworks in the 20th and 21st century.
The basic premise of 2 layers of cloth with a filler of batting held together by stitching is still relevant today. Now the artworks are made out of many materials and fibers and are made to be displayed as artwork just as paintings, photographs, and tapestries.
