The red  and blue parts are from thrifted button up shirts that I cropped, and used the leftovers. The red pattern reminded me of the red brick houses in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The back is made from scraps from this project and my previous project- the encoded cloth of recycled bags- because something I have become very aware of especially the past few years is sustainability, and to maximize resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3816.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Design: I made a 5&#215;5 grid for my five years here, each row representing a year. The quilting is actually a map of the Oakland-Squirrel Hill area, with CMU at the middle. All of the places I&#8217;ve lived the past few years could be found in this area. It is oriented to be read from the back. I very much associate place with memories, so in this case, it is literally what binds everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3910-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Top Left: My third year, I had a 9am class where I would always show up with banana bread<br>Right: I got a money tree last year, one of my first house plants, and it has still been thriving<br>Bottom Left: The front of the house I am currently living in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3911-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Top Left: The iconic &#8220;Cube House&#8221; we all had to make in first year studio<br>Top Right: I used to explore Downtown a lot first year when I was homesick<br>Second Row: My friends and I drove out of Pittsburgh and I was amazed by how many stars I saw for the first time (I&#8217;m a city girl..)<br>Lower Left: I have always just had a poster of an egg banh mi hanging up in my room all these years for some reason<br>Lower Right: Third year, I won second place in a design competition with one of my best friends with that design <br>Bonus: The fish (sardine) is a souvenir I hang on my wall from my trip to Portugal for studio my fourth year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/62-150\/f2020a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3913-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Squirrel Hill- The white square represents my house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this project, and this semester, I grew a lot.
