There is no paint used on this quilt, as I was going through a phase where I thought painting was cheating. I expanded my collection of fabrics and enjoyed the challenge of creating everything, even the caution tape, through collage.
Inspiration
Pastoral Disturbance focuses on a Pennsylvanian Amish schoolhouse where a massacre occurred in October, 2006. The perpetrator randomly victimized the children within, and surprisingly, even after ten girls were shot and 5 of them died, the community responded with forgiveness.
