Stretch - Karen Foster

Inspiration: My 2016 prompt, “Let’s Get Comfortable,” in a denim palette was a nod to my love of jeans and to pushing beyond our creative and social comfort zone. Blocks in all shapes and sizes were puzzled together like a favourite pair, with quilting further bridging the composition and adding texture.
