"First in my prayer, before all other deities,
I call upon Gaia, Primeval Prophetess...
The Greek great earth mother."
~Aeschylus~

I had a lot of fun creating this quilt!

I made it from an assortment of earthy brown, green and cream colored quilt-quality cotton fabrics, no blocks, nor the frames around them are alike. Each one is machine appliqued using coordinating color thread using a zigzag stitch, on assorted tone-on-tone off-white (cream) 100% cotton fabric.

Two borders edge the quilt, one in a green pebble pattern, and the other using assorted brown fabrics that match the goddesses. I finished with a hand-stitched binding in assorted green fabrics, to coordinate with the goddess figures.

The backing is a 60/40 cotton poly fabric.

It is machine-quilted around each goddess, inside and outside of each "frame", and along the border.

I also washed and dried the quilt to test washability, and it's OK to machine wash, normal cycle, warm water, and then tumble dry on regular! OK to iron, if needed.

This truly one-of-a-kind quilt measures approx. 49" wide and 75" tall. It fits the top of a twin sized mattress (with no overhang). Also makes a gorgeous wall hanging, large sized throw for the end of your bed or back of your couch, or super duper large baby/toddler quilt.

If would make a perfect gift for your favorite Goddess!

Note: the last two pictures are of the quilt top before I finished it. I am posting those pictures as well, because the lighting was better that day, and the colors are truer. Of course, please keep in mind that colors may vary according to individual monitor settings.

If you would like snippets of the fabric to see the colors before purchase, please convo me. I will be happy to send some swatches in the mail to you.

Thanks for looking!
