Abstract

This article from Quilting Arts Magazine discusses the process of creating a message-driven quilt inspired by the work of activist-artist Corita Kent. The author combines foundation paper piecing and improv quilting to create a quilt that references Kent's bold, graphic designs while also incorporating pieced letters. The article also provides instructions for creating the quilt, including printing the letters, choosing fabrics, and stitching the letters together. The author emphasizes the importance of embracing the improvisational nature of the process and allowing for creative freedom. The article also provides information about Corita Kent's background as an artist, educator, and advocate for social justice. [Extracted from the article]
