"Cheshire" by Stephanie Skardal won Third Place - Abstract at Houston 2025.
Artist Statement (Houston International Quilt Festival 2025): "Cheshire was inspired by pushing boundaries with foundation paper piecing—how far and how extreme can you take this technique?! Five colors were selected after being designed digitally. The fabric was then cut via a laser cutter and foundation paper pieced. It was quilted on a longarm."
