DescriptionThe quilt face is a large rectangle of pieced clothing labels, which are padded to have a certain amount of individual three dimensional dimension. These are surrounded by a striking black and white satin border, creating a strong graphic enclosure to the visually busy sewn-labels, which create their own dark/light checkerboard effect.
