In the Square Where the Refreshing Breeze is Blowing by Isako Wada won 3rd Place Hand Quilted Quilts at Paducah 2023
Artist Statement: "When I traveled abroad, I found a square paved with flagstones. The landscape around the square was beautiful, and I was so impressed. A refreshing breeze blowing through trees and houses made me so relaxed. I expressed my impression of the square in my quilt. I applied my favorite Trip Around the World setting to the stone paved squares, appliquéd the traditional houses around the square, and quilted so that the quilt lines represent the breeze."
Original Design: Yes
