"Be Joyful" is an art quilt that began with a Stephanie Brandenburg flower panel and ended with the words "joyful". The negative blue space gives the quilt a modern feel, and the words (along with the small swarm of bees) makes the quilt inspirational. The African print border contributes to the distinctiveness of the piece.
Be Joyful measures 40x60 inches. It is machine pieced, machine quilted and machine appliquéd. There is a hanging sleeve on the back for easy display and a label that documents the quilt. I signed it on the front in gold ink although it is hard to see it on the blue background.
This quilt is one-of-a-kind.
