This quilt was inspired by Lynda's long-standing admiration of the quilts produced by the small rural African American community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, who became well known for their remarkable abstract quilts made from work clothes remnants and scraps.
Using silkscreen printed off-cuts kept for many years from previous bag collections, Lynda created this quilt in a similar way to how many of the Gee's Bend quilts were created. Disregarding conventional quilt geometrics and allowing the material to influence the creative process, Lynda combined colours, patterns and plains with an improvisational approach.
