“A wonderful trip to the beautiful country of Turkey inspired this quilt. The designs came from images of ancient Roman ruins, as well as ideas from the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The top is silk fabric and it is machine appliquéd and quilted; I handmade the Oya needle lace that edges the quilt. “
