I've always wanted to make a quilt honoring the lives lost in the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, but I could never have done anything as good as what Helen Geglio has done here. #Sigh #WhenYouKnowYouWillNeverBeThisCreative

The Triangle Fire: Flightless Birds
52 x 40″
Cotton, linen, found shirtwaist blouse and lace

#Quilting

Appliqué quilt with a central image of a brown brick tower building, with symbolic flames coming out the top floors. A found shirt has been stitched in such a way that the building appears to be wearing it (or perhaps is being held within it.) Flames are also coming off of the sleeves of the shirt which are raised as if asking for help. The background of the quilt is light blue (top), grey (middle) and black (near the bottom) and blue dyed white lace is placed in the bottom left corner and lower right side. Dark blue triangles are falling down the tower and leaves appear to flutter across the scene as well.
