GRAND PRIZE WINNER

I was inspired by Cynthia Mumford's quilt "Cats in the Garden". She made her quilt in 2007. In her Q.S.O.S. interview in 2011 she said she was inspired by Jean Wells' quilt, "Paradise in the Garden" which was featured in the book "Garden Inspired Quilts" by Jean Wells and Valori Wells in 2002. I would love to know who inspired Jean Wells to make her quilt.
