"The design source for the four large blocks was a Dover Publications book of copyright-free Art Nouveau designs. I enlarged the designs on a copy machine and then studied them carefully, to adapt them for my patterns. The quilt contains the most difficult appliqué I have ever done. The order in which the seemingly interwoven curving ribbons were to be stitched was determined as the sewing evolved. Normally I enjoy using bold, bright colors, but in this quilt I felt that delicate values would be more appropriate and in keeping with the soft flow of the design elements."
