A quilt that began in 2012, "Ajani" is finally finished. I wanted it to be a part of a Black History Month art exhibition at
Pine Camp Arts and Community Center this year, 2016. I got frustrated with this quilt some time ago and put it away for a year or so. Then last year, something made me revisit it, and I completed the border, put together the sandwich and began quilting the layers together. I put it down again until I got a call asking me to participate in this art show. In two weeks, I finished the free-motion quilting, put on a binding, added a few more embellishments and stitched my signature. (Between you and I, I may tweak a few more things after the show.)
