Andy's Quilts
In 2007, I was commissioned to make four queen size "Amish" quilts that
were to accompany an exhibit of
Andy Yoder's
glass banks at a gallery in Manhattan.
To fit the money theme, the quilts each had a subtle money motif designed into them,
either in the piecing or in the quilting.
I pieced the quilts in solids in the traditional Amish style, and Janet Broad
of Westminster, VT did the machine quilting.
In two of the quilts (Money Tree and Amish diamond variation), she used a dollar
sign stencil I created to add the money theme; in the Money Bags quilt I hand
quilted dollar signs into four of the blocks that looked like money bags, and
in the Pinwheel Dollar Sign I designed a large dollar sign that I pieced in
darker shades of the blue and yellow fabrics that made up the pinwheels.
