Exploring Green Islands

Size: 27" high x 16" wide

All of the islands depicted in this quilt are in Puget Sound. The north-south orientation and scale are accurate. The geographic placement is my own -- to serve the design of the quilt.

The sailboats are based on a wooden boat built by my cousin Garth. His boat Goldberry is a Ness Yawl designed by Iain Oughtred, a renowned Scottish boat designer. To see Garth's boat, click on: http://www.slaughterhousegallery.com/Ness%20Yawl/NYHome.htm Link
