#BecauseSheChanges

A large quilt of blue denim with sashiko-style imagery. A background of white and blue lines, running in different directions in different parts of the quilt. The centre is four interlinked circles in shades of red and orange, from 70cm across to 20cm across. They are segmented (24ths) and some segments are filled with sashiko patterns. A different pattern in each segment. Above right of the circles is an area of pale purple/rose stitching resembling a whispy cloud. At top right there is a moon, 3/4 full, with 'realistic' surface details based on moon maps'. Near bottom right is an abstract pattern in pale blue representing mist. Bottom left is a series of classical sashiko waves in white. The quilt has a narrow red border
