The quilt depicts a favorite scene I saw on a trip to Italy. I based the work on photographs I had taken of the patchwork effect of fields in the Tuscan countryside. The foreground portrays one of the vast fields of sunflowers in bloom. I used commercial fabrics embellished with thread painting to show both the deep afternoon shadows and the low rays of sunlight accenting the roof of the villa.
