The white heron holds many symbolic meanings related to nature and life. In this elegantly subtle quilt, fabric sections of traditional Japanese herons, flecked with gold, float in undulating waves of cream and gold fabrics. The quilt lines are like air waves in clouds. Small triangles or wings of color pop like little kites in the sky.
