This document provides descriptions of various art quilts created by Joy-Lily and exhibited in San Francisco from March to April 2018. The quilts use techniques like hand dyeing, printing, piecing, applique, and collage with fabrics like silk, cotton, and ombre fabrics. Many of the quilts were part of Joy-Lily's 101 Quilt Project, where she challenged herself to make 101 premie-sized quilt tops over the course of 400 days for donation. The document includes photos and details of individual quilts available for purchase and notes that more information can be found by contacting the artist.

13. My 101 Quilt Project
Why 101 Quilts?
The San Francisco Quilters Guild requested quilts for premature babies at Kaiser
Hospital in San Francisco. Making a few small quilt tops was so quick and so
satisfying that it quickly led me to challenge myself: I'd make 100 premie-size quilt
tops (about 24” x 24”) and see where the process led me. 400 days later, the
project was completed. (+ one. I guess I can't count!) About half of these quilts are
being quilted by other guild members and will go to the babies. Some of the others
were exhibited in Beyond the Bed. The rest will be available at
www.joy-lily.com/101quilts.htm as I finish quilting them.
