Art quilt of a saguaro woman in bloom, hands clasped with a look of concern. The red border wall is in the distance with tanks in black in front of it.

The quilting is complete - now to finish her. Binding or facing?
In November a quilt guild in Arizona will write the names of the migrants who have perished in the desert this year. These will go onto the path in the spaces between the quilting. It’s approx 4.5 x 6 ft. #MigrantQuiltProject

"The #MigrantQuiltProject remembers lives lost along the #US-#Mexico border"

Each quilt represents one year of fatalities and incorporates personal items found in the desert.
