Decorating with Quilts

Don’t practice to the point of failing to share your quilts. After all, you are the only one who knows what it is supposed to look like. If there is an imperfection, just say it was part of your creativity. Or, subscribe to the Amish view: “Only God is perfect!”

I was inspired by the book Decorating with African Fabrics to share my quilts with my co-workers after we expanded our office space. The quilts are a great conversation starter because they are an unexpected surprise in a law office.

Recently the press did an article on my office quilts. Take a look.
