This piece is the second in the Twirling Leaves series. The art quilt is machine pieced, hand quilted, and hand bound. Commercial fabrics were used in the textile artwork with some of them dating back to the 1980s. Detail images of the dense hand stitching show the detail in the rubber tree leaves in the outer area of the art quilt. Examining the piece up close reveals many nuances in the artwork from spirals, to hatch marks and many different colors of thread. This artwork is designed to be hung in any orientation. The images detailing the different orientations show how different the piece can look simply by rotating it. This makes for many different viewing options. The backing is traditional unbleached muslin and is 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.
