Improvisation - New Mexico Style

Can color and shape give you a sense of place?  I think these two quilts made by Megan Sturges are proof that it can.

This is Icon of Blessings.

And this is Do You or I or Anyone Know?

Both quilts were in the category of Medium-sized Pictorial quilts at Fiber Arts Fiesta, that took place in Albuquerque last month. I love the use of free-form piecing to create pictorial forms.
