Artist Statement:"I've always been drawn to designs that make secondary circle patterns. "Forever" was inspired by a ceiling in Biltmore House and such classic quilt patterns as Double Wedding Ring and Orange Peel. Rather than repeat the block over the entire quilt, I chose to give the quilt a worn feeling, like an old carving or engraving where time and use have dulled the pattern, but it can still be seen. The soft color scheme and use of the block design in the quilting reinforce the idea."
Techniques: Machine Appliquéd, Machine Quilted Without a Frame - The quilt moved under the stationary needle
