When Grandmother's Lily Garden Blooms

"The inspiration for this quilt came from viewing a small bed of day lilies in the backyard--these wonderful flowers had been a favorite of mine for many years. It was with a 'piecer's eye' that I began to dissect the flower, with many variations in size, angle, etc. Finding a technique to bring this quilt to life opened a whole new chapter for me in quilting. I refused to give up the idea of piecing what I wanted to represent, and found myself drawing upon many possible techniques and combining them, to make it a reality. This reaching and stretching has opened up the possibility of creating images with fabric that previously were only fleeting visions.
