"Escape from Circle City was my first attempt at 'innovative' work and was only my third or fourth large piece. It was created as a catharsis to my frustration with the winner of the Great American quilt Festival in 1986. I was in a dark mood and pulled out every shade of grey fabric I owned and threw them (literally) on the floor. I visualized an 'escape from traditional' and sketched a design. The whole quilt was drafted full size on news print, and cut apart for freezer paper patterns."
