This quilt was made for Sean and Emily O'Connor, who are on the eve of meeting their new son. Sean commissioned this quilt and gave me no instructions other than to do whatever I wanted to do. And so I did. And so I did...

*The blue circle in the center of the quilt was inspired by (and approved by) Tom Yak and his Flying Machine pieces. He is a good friend of mine and has infiltrated my creative brain it seems...as did Daniel Higgs. Sean (the subject of the quilt) has a tattoo on his forearm that was done by Higgs. I was psyched to be able to incorporate some Higgs fabric/ wormhole action into this quilt as well.
