Pamela Zave's Art Quilts

Goodnight you moonlight ladies,

Rock-a-bye, sweet Baby James.

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,

Won't you let me go down in my dreams,

And rock-a-bye, sweet Baby James.

This quilt was an early experiment with what was then called "watercolor" technique. When I was designing the quilt, I was frustrated because I never had enough fabrics—I always wanted smoother transitions from one color to another. Later I appreciated the freeness that resulted from this limitation. The checkerboard sky  and pieced border remind us that this is a real quilt, not an imitation painting.
