Art Quilt

My first attempt at a "journal quilt" (in two pics because I used my scanner here). This was a class project involving torn strips of fabric, arranged and then hand-stitched. Mine is supposed to be a statement about the disappearing American Dream of buying a home. I was okay with it until I say what my classmates made...then I felt lame with a capital 'L'. Oh well, I'm learning tons, so it's all good. There's a key on there, and a button from Julian that is like a cut log with bark. I was going to stitch some words, but I'm over it. Next!
