Name of quilt:  Girl With a Pearl Earring (No. 4)

The book that inspired this quilt: Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier

Materials:  Cotton fabrics, netting

Techniques:  Fusible mosaic under netting. I have always wanted to try this...one and done!  Used the faux-piped binding technique to give the illusion of a frame.

This quilt’s story:  I love this painting, so when I came across Tracy Chevalier’s novel of the same title, I was intrigued.  It was truly “A Good Read,” very enlightening about the limited choices available to working class women in the 17th century, told from the prospective of the GIRL as she was coming of age.
