Close-up

Superman print with smaller figures is from a Superman quilt made for my son Robbie.

Print with larger motifs is from a Superman quilt made for friend Andy D.

I incorporated other leftover fabrics from both quilts and added a few miscellaneous fabrics to fill gaps.

First original - Superman

For my grown son Robbie, a Superman fan since childhood.

Completed October 2010

Second original - Superman Opus No. 2 in A Double Flat Minor

For friend Andy D., who is also a Superman fan.

Completed January 2013

There are no common fabrics between the two original quilts, on purpose. I wanted each to be unique. Since this Echoes quilt came from two quilts, I'm callling it a Double Echo.
