My Radical Acceptance Quilt for 2020 continued the theme of acceptance that I worked with in 2019. Highlights: a block for each month of 2020, a “log” for each day, an embroidered statement about what I was working to accept that day. Improv sashing with lots of tiny bits of goodness. Hand quilting. Pages from my sketchbook detailing why I chose the words I did, scanned and sewn into the back.

Of course I didn’t know when I started it in January that this quilt would become a record of such a unique and historic year. So I guess this is my Covid quilt in its own way.

This is one of my favorite quilts I’ve made in a long time and I’m pleased that it hung at QuiltCon 2022 in Phoenix because I feel like it needs to be seen in person to truly be appreciated! Radical Acceptance Quilt for 2020, 32”x43”, final pictures taken by Mitch Hopper.
