"Aside from the impeccable workmanship, what really sets these quilts apart--what moves them from "nice quilt" to "masterpiece"--is the careful thought that goes into the design. The choices of coordinating fabrics, the careful alignment of pattern direction, and the extra flair of the stitch pattern combine to bring the design to life. It's magical. It reminds me of the way Louis Comfort Tiffany used to select pieces for his stained glass."
