It did. It was the best of show at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in 2016. Said it took her a year to make and had over 8400 pieces!

No doubt! But it was time she will be well compensated for. She will make a ton of prize money in all the shows it visits!

Mercy! What a great array. Lovin'l your scrappy....Art quilts are awesome but snuggles are under the scraps.
