This striking fine art quilt combines classical imagery with folk art storytelling. On one side, a quilted Venus de Milo is rendered in eggshell calico with distressed purple muslin shadows, set against a bold red background of distressed muslin. On the other, a house in jewel-toned 19th-century reproduction fabrics burns with flames cut from warm shades of distressed muslin.
Created with needleturn appliqué finished in blanket stitch, this one-of-a-kind quilt is made entirely from 100% cotton fabrics, batting, and thread. The contrast between timeless sculpture and a house on fire evokes themes of beauty, fragility, and impermanence—making it not only a textile artwork but a powerful visual statement.
Perfect for display as a wall hanging - it can be hung using a tapestry hanger or curtain rod with drapery clips - Decline and Fall brings together folk art, fine art, and quiltmaking tradition in a single expressive piece. The measurements of this quilt are 54” x 58”.
