Bells of Indiana

1981

76" x 76" (detail shown above)

Cotton cloth, bells, machine pieced and hand quilted

An Indiana newspaper printed a series of traditional American quilt patterns for a quilt competition.  I combined greatly enlarged "Double Peony" blocks in the center section with "Indiana Puzzle" around the border.  Finally I added the bells.  I live in the state of Indiana, and our state flower is the Peony.
