Thanks to Facebook

This floral couch quilt was made in the "coexistence" style, using a piece of Palestinian embroidery made by a woman named Maha who lives in Bethlehem.  I have never met Maha, since we live on different sides of the "divide", but we have become facebook friends!  When I want new pieces of embroidery, she puts up pictures of different styles and I can choose what I want! 

In addition to the embroidery, this quilt integrates the element of "building blocks" which are so easy to make and so popular as a quilting style.
