Artist's Statement: I received this greeting card when I finished graduate school. The cover was like this quilt. I liked it so much that I framed it and hung it on my wall. Now that I’ve taken the $1,000 pledge, I’m always on the lookout for quilt design inspiration. I noticed this greeting card that I received 16 years ago and I thought it would make a nice quilt. The artist’s name was published on the back, and she has graciously given me her permission to use her painting for a quilt.

Dedication: To my aunt, Joan Maust, whose beautiful quilts inspired me to learn to quilt.
