This is a "coexistence" quilt, since it incorporates embroidery made by Bedouin women in the northern Negev. It is made especially for my niece and nephew who live in New York City. They chose the colors, the women at Desert Embroidery in Laquiya prepared the embroidery to order, and I made the finished product! A wonderful partnership.
Note the element of "building blocks" that I used for the overhang on both sides of the quilt. You can't see it in the picture above (because I took the picture on my own bed which is only queen size) so I am also showing it in a close-up.
