Sweet Madame Blue, 75 x 75", by Margaret Solomon Gunn (Maine)


This original hand appliqued design by Margaret Solomon Gunn won the Yuko Watanabe Best of Show award.  Margaret says, "[The design] was created around the lace doilies I ordered from Istanbul.  The remaining design features many shades of my hand-dyed silks in floral and geometric patterns commonly seen in Turkish pottery." 

Many precise and intricate details can be seen on every surface of this lovely quilt.
