Cotton Covid Quilt

Last year, while the world was on lockdown during Covid-19 and many of my design projects were on hold, I made a quilt. I had made 100+ masks for friends, family, neighbors and donations and realized being at the sewing machine was a way to ease my anxieties while actually making something useful. So I embarked on a giant quilt. It took MONTHS to complete and its wonky imperfection and patchwork color combo is a perfect analogy of that time.
