"Mourning for Mexico's Daughters"

Here's the final version of my quilt for Monica's a-DRESS-ing the Situation (see button on sidebar) challenge:

I used 3 strands of cotton embroidery floss to make the pink crosses in the background, thus quilting the top two layers together. Wooden crosses painted pink are being used in Mexico to commemorate the victims of this particular insanity against innocent young women.

I chose to feature this angel from the "Tree of Life" print by Andover Fabrics on the back. I like the idea of the names of the victims being recorded in the Book of Life. I've used other angels from this print in my AAQI Priority Quilts. That's where I learned about the Fast Finish Triangles too. I've been using them on my little quilts ever since.

As you can see, I haven't yet done the lettering to label this quilt. I'll use a Pigma pen for that purpose. I try to sign all of my work, whether it's quilts or dolls or whatever. An artist wouldn't let a painting out of the studio without a signature; why should I?
