Night Garden explores the cyclical nature of life, death, and renewal through the contrast of light and dark, natural shapes and colors. The quilt, created during a time of losing a close family member, became a means of healing. The process of making this piece while grieving reminded me of the importance in the act of creating in my life.

I used quarter circle shapes cut freehand with my rotary cutter with my hand dyed fabric to improvise the design.
