Creating stencil for pattern on fabric quilt pieces.

Finishing quilt pattern for Mural. Pattern includes Tennessee symbols: state bird, state tree, state flower and flag stars.  Fabric reminiscent of that used for quilts and clothing made from flour sacks.

Canvas ready to be scanned. Next step, entries will be dropped in blocks, then panels will be printed for the wall to be wrapped. Then I will complete the canvas, which will be displayed with the exhibit at the Discovery Center
