Proton

2017, W37″xH37″, Cotton, Machine pieced, Hand quilted

My inspiration for this quilt is my delightful son who, while I was making this, was a college physics major.  He enthusiastically shared all that he was learning while on visits home – including trying to help me understand the basics of physics, and in this case, protons: a positively charged particle that resides within the atomic nucleus.
