Fall in the Falls

1. How did you come up with the idea for the quilt and what did you want to achieve?
I’ve been making map quilts of my neighbourhood of South Hadley Falls, Massachusetts, for a couple of years. The neighbourhood sits in a crook of the Connecticut River, where there is a natural fall in the river elevation, and now it is home to a dam. I enjoy exploring how the man-made infrastructure of the town fits in with represents a parcel of property. Seeing how the land has been divided into odd-shaped lots over the last 250 years was quite interesting to me.
