Open Season
Quilt by Cynthia England
87" x 90"
Created in: 2000
   

Inspiration for this quilt came from a photo from Texas Highways Magazine by Leroy Williamson. I made it over a period of 6 years using my Picture Piecing technique. It has over 21,000 individual pieces and is made of 280 different fabrics.

 
  As with many of my quilts, I have hidden images within the quilt.
