This piece is a failed entry for a challenge to interpret a Beatles song as a quilt–it doesn’t meet the technical definition of a quilt, though the stacks of buttonhole-stitched wool circles derive from 19th century penny quilts or penny rugs, a way in which women could use up small scraps of wool to make practical household items. This is my interpretation in fabric collage of the iconic 1969 Beatles’ Abbey Road photo by Iain Stewart Macmillan which has been copied and parodied so many times.
