DescriptionThis was the very first quilt I made. I hand dyed the batiks during a batik workshop conducted by Kokroko in Kumasi, Ghana in July 2010. My sister Tarsha-Nicole Taylor of Tewksbury, MA helped me design the quilt and select commercially dyed fabrics to compliment my Ghanaian batiks. I made this quilt as a lap quilt for husband, Professor Simon Gikandi, of Princeton University.
