Receptaculum III: puer universum transites femina incrementum (A Boy’s World’s transition, a woman’s growth)

I made a quilt 'A Boy's World' for my oldest son when he was 2 years old, it was handed down to my second child who loved it to tatters. It grew soft and worn with all the washings. As my child grew into an adult she realized she was in the wrong body and her transition began. In cutting up this quilt I snipped away at the past, questioning my role as a mother. It was satisfying to transform a beloved quilt into an object to sit in the light for all to see like she has.
