Laura Keyes Perry
Roanoke, VA USAWidth: 11.15"
Length: 8"
Materials/Techniques: Cottons and cotton blends; hand-pieced and hand-quilted.
Artist's Statement: This design is called a "postage stamp" quilt because all the blocks are so small. It is also a charm quilt, because every block is from a different fabric. I call it the Rooster quilt because of the fine fellow on the second row. I also considered naming it after the pop-eyed fish on the bottom row. Note: This quilt contains a few non-religious Christmas fabrics.
Laura Keyes Perry Dedication: In loving memory of the Ford Twins, Beulah and Bertha, and in honor of all those who are caregivers to people with this terrible condition.
This quilt earned $14.79 for the AAQI.
