Deb Stern asked Joshilyn Jackson:

I am curious about the quilts in The Girl Who Stopped Swimming. Are they based on quilts you've seen, or made?

Joshilyn Jackson Hey Deb -- they SURE are.Laurel's work is based on Canadian folk artist Pamela Allen's work.

I just did a segment on this for WABE. Its short (under 10 minutes) and you can see pictures of the quilt the book inspired:
