Common Ground, 22" x 22". This quilt was created for and shown in A Sense of Community exhibit of Canadian and American Quilters at the Embassy of Canada, Washington, D.C. in 2019. The grounds of the flags of the United States of America and Canada are united by their common colors of red and white, just as we are united by the continent we share, and the bonds of friendship between our people. I wove together the colors of our flags, creating four blocks to represent Canada and four to represent the U.S. The ninth block is an applique landscape of the Rocky Mountains, our common range.
