My brother's poem Where Did I Come From? is told in this quilt.  The Physics panel shows a hand-beaded exploding star; Chemistry is what your Mommy ate (making chicken soup, of course); and Biology is you in your Mommy's tummy.  The poem itself is printed on fabric as its own panel.

Cotton fabrics, raw-edge applique with machine and hand stitching.
