Be Bossy, 60 x 60 inch art quilt, by O.V. Brantley, 2014

Be Bossy is the third quilt in my “BE” series. My quilting friend Aisha Lumumba asked me and other quilters to make a log cabin quilt for a book she is planning. I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone?! The center block of this quilt fit perfectly into my “BE” series.

The words “I’m not bossy. I just have better ideas” are featured in the center square of each block. I suppose all art is somewhat autobiographical, but I will leave it to my viewers to decide if this quilt is autobiographical.

Be Bossy measures 60 x 60 inches. For now, it is not for sale and is part of my collection of heirloom quilts.

The first quilt in the “BE” series is Be Amazing shown below. Be Fearless was sold and is in the home of a private collector.
