This will continue to have a dramatic effect on coastal cities and communities as we know them today.  In the US alone, 13 million people could be forced to relocate due to rising sea levels by 2100. As a result, cities throughout the country will grapple with new populations. Effects could include more competition for jobs, increased housing prices, and more pressure on infrastructure networks.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuilt Melt\u003c\/strong\u003e illustrates melting of the ice caps through formal and familiar traditional quilt blocks (current coast areas) contrasted with the unexpected fluidity and change of a surrealist melting appliqué (melting ice caps.)\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques and Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cotton, Combination of machine pieced and hand appliqué and machine quilted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lorraine Woodruff-Long \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lorraine Woodruff-Long \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 x 47 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e International Quilt Festival Long Beach 2023 ; Houston International Quilt Festival 2022 ; New Quilts of Northern California Exhibit - Pacific International Quilt Festival 2017 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1st Place - Visual Impact in the New Quilts of Northern California Exhibit - Pacific International Quilt Festival 2017 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lorraine Woodruff-Long","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046388158739,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/28574-quilt-melt-lorraine-woodruff-long-98-1731955023_79b1814d-5232-4e8a-aba3-b5d98eb56f84.jpg?v=1776144195","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/quilt-melt-lorraine-woodruff-long","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
