Three for the Crown
Charlotte Warr Andersen1987
The National Quilt Museum
Paducah, United States
“I could have made just a Kentucky Derby Quilt, but when the Derby is finished, one looks to the next big race – the Preakness – and then if the winning horse wins that, on to the Belmont Stakes. If the same horse wins that we have a horse that has become part of a very elite group – the Triple Crown Winners. I love horses and watching horse races; I’ve been drawing horses since I was a small child, influenced by my father who is a saddle maker. Three for the Crown honors a tradition that is a century strong and one that I hope will be with us for centuries more.”
