Artist’s Statement:
Like a quilt, American currency (even though it has evolved over the years) wears its tradition proudly. It is useful yet also decorative, full of meaningful symbols harkening back to an earlier time. While often overlooked as just a part of everyday life, careful study shows the handiwork of many artisans. This is our first try at a ‘slice quilt’. Though quite diverse, our myriad viewpoints and talents came together quite nicely, our own American melting pot.
Makers are members of the Broadway Gentlemen’s Quilting Auxiliary.
