This was my husband's only effort at quilting. He chose the colors, trying to make something that vibrated and kind of hurt your eyes. I got to sew the top together because he doesn't sew. He chose the name and then became bored with it. I figured if it had that name it needed to have the whole scene quilted on it, so the machine quilting is my depiction of Moses in front of the burning bush.

This quilt is my portrayal of Saltair, a resort that was built on the shore of the Great Salt Lake in 1893. I chose to make this quilt out of all sorts of fabrics; silk, acetate, rayon, polyester, cotton, lame, etc. Photos do not do this quilt justice.
