"The Troubadour" by Luz Seidensticker won First Place - Pieced Wall at Road to California 2023.
Artist Statement: "As an homage to quilters from the past, I modified the traditional Mariner's Compass block in an attempt to capture the magic of petals unfolding on giant mammoth sunflowers. In the background, a bluebird serenades his companion at the tune of "O Sole Mio." The quilt was completely machine piece."
