Tudor RomanceThis quilt was designed to reflect my cultural and family heritage. I am drawn to the 16th century and its flourishing art forms. I tried to give it the look of an old English tapestry. Swans are Britain's royal bird and represent family in this quilt. They mate for life, are fiercely protective of their young and harmonize with their surroundings. It is said that they love classical music and are drawn close to land to listen.

Techniques:
