This quilt I started while attending one of Ricky Tims Retreats in LaVeta in 2014. This quilt had been on my bucket list since I first saw Ricky in Paducah in 2007. His passion for quilting and his passion for this style plus the fact that it was using hand dyed batiks...made it a quilt I just had to someday make! This quilt won first place in the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in June 2015, 3rd place in it's division in the AQS Grand Rapids Show in 2015. It won first place in the AQS Show in it's division in Des Moines. The quilt is entered in the AQS show in Daytona Florida and also in the AQS show in Paducah in 2016...we'll wait and see how it does there. As my quilter, Dorie Hruska says....it's a fun ride!
