Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Not sure if this is new to anyone but it is to me. I'm amazed at how this woman has the faces of Mother Teresa, Oprah and Jackie Kennedy all in the same place on a quilt but seen from different vantage points. I'm amazed at the workmanship and astonished that it didn't get better awards. Anyway, take a look and see if you could do this. I know I can't. :-)

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

I have seen this quilt, and while it is amazing I just don't understand why the quilter chose to combine these three very different women in a quilt.
She says in an IQA interview that it was because each of the women were inspirational to her (and that she thought they might have been inspirational to other quilters/quilt lovers).Originally Posted by dunster
In fairness, I don't think it was so much about creating a theme as showing off a particular technique that won her so many awards.

May have been her favorite 3. I'm more interested in the concept and putting it together. Stunning work!
My sister saw this quilt in North Carolina a month or two ago and sent me a picture that she took. The technique certainly is interesting for the 3-D effect, but also the quilting on the frame is intricate.
All I can say regardless of the women chosen, it is an amazing quilt, and that is what we should be talking about!
It is amazing!
This is an amazing talent

I had never seen this quilt. It is amazing. I have seen this done on billboards. I would never have thought of it done on a quilt. I thought like some of you about the selection of ladies, but then I thought a bit more and realized that they are each known world wide for different types of fame, but I go with Mother Teresa's thinking that I heard her say once. I try to see the eyes of Jesus in everyone I see. That has always stayed with me.

Good friends are right there with you.
Would you all please explain why these women are bad choices to put together. I don't get why they would be wrong together. Aren't they all great worldly women, each in their own way, and give different inspiration to all of us?
Really, I would like your thoughts.
I think it would be interesting to have them all for lunch and a beer and conversation.
