This 3rd quilt has a colorful Aztec calendar broken open with Frida’s art coming out and surrounding Frida at her easel as she paints and has roots growing from her feet connecting to her Mexican heritage and to her art which surrounds her. This time period ​captures her agonizing and tumultuous marriage to Diego Rivera, her devastating miscarriages, and her explosive creative evolution.

Materials:  commercial fabrics, Aztec sun cut out from an old t-shirt, red ribbon, raw edge appliqué, free motion stitching, photo transfer on cotton appliqué to felt fabric, yarn roots couched
