Artist's Statement:

The piece, Eight Hexagons, is created in the free-cutting, string-quilt style of Anna Williams. I first saw Ms. Williams' quilts on display at Louisiana State University in the '90s. Her mix of every-fabric-cut-to-every-size is such a refreshing approach to today's quilts-with-structure. I decided to mix a hint of geometry into my piece, continuing to use "strings" in my machine appliqued shapes.
