'Men's Work' combines old ties, suit-like japanese fabric, denim and shell buttons, as well as batting. The layers are hand quilted. I made this as the complement to 'Women's Work', a quilt about the work undertaken by women in an african village in the 70's.
This quilt relates to fabric and colours that men would be wearing to work in north america. I like the darkness of the quilt as it reminds me of conservative quilts made by the amish or mennonites.
