This quilt represented a departure from my traditional quick quilting techniques into those of more elaborate and denser quilting techniques.   I felt as if I were “At the Beginning Again” even though I had created more than a dozen quick pieced and quick quilted quilts.  I have long been an admirer of the machine quilting work of Diane Guadynski (and as of this writing have not met her) and I wanted to incorporate some of her quilting “style” into this quilt.   

This quilt won 2nd Place in the Large Traditional category at the New York State Quilt Consortium show in 2004.  It also won the Excellence in Machine Workmanship award, which came with a sewing machine prize.
