Vintage quilts are often strikingly modern in appearance. As a modern quilter, I often think about my place in the long history of quilting. All quilters share one path – albeit one with dead ends, side roads, loops and forks, twists and turns. The inspiration for this quilt is a labyrinth, but for me the practice of quilting is truly a puzzle with no beginning or end.
