This quilt was inspired by the gentrification process that is effecting urban areas in the Bay Area. Before I create this art quilt I had never sewn before. I had witnessed gentrification but I didn’t know it had a name. After researching this topic and creating the design, I thought of the things that come to mind and decided that I would create a quilt that represents the lack of housing securities many families face. This quilt will definitely not be my last!
