Comments: (1993) "At first I thought it would be easy
to make a quilt that had no restrictions and that was guaranteed to
be accepted. Well, I did settle on using red and green, but got carried
away designing in every possible combination and contrast of every possible
red and green fabric. Eventually I got this urge somewhat under control,
but it wasn't easy.
The
green wedge-shaped pieces were originally supposed to be sewn together
into a square, but I happened to pin them up with space in between and
they looked pretty good that way.
People
have seen different things in this quilt the Oakland fire, the
Loma Prieta earthquake, e.g. but I made it as an abstract design."
