Description from maker

Embracing into my neuroqueer and nonbinary gender identity means leaning into the fact that I may appear eccentric. I explored that in this project by using the “wrong” side of several fabrics and improvising a “crazy quilted” design. Gender expression is also tied up in sensory experience for me so I also included some soft stimmy textures.

Visual description

Rich earthy colored fabrics: velvet, embroidery, and plaid. The pieces are stitched together in a traditional crazy quilt fashion, with gold thread.
