Mississippi Medley - A Mess of Blues and A Little Bit of Green

By Beth Burke of Hixson, Tennessee

Artist's Statement:
I chose the traditional block named Mississippi as the pattern for this quilt, in recognition of Elvis' birthplace. I used the glitzy metallic thread thread and the star motif for the glamorous celebrity lifestyle Elvis enjoyed. The two song titles worked well together to initiate the color scheme.

A traditional block, jazzed up to reflect Elvis.

She couched the fancy thread around the center of the Mississippi block

And in the corners.

And quilted stars in other places.
