The design for this quilt comes from the Ingalls' 1886 catalog of Embroidery Stamping Patterns. The CD I bought of these designs contains 256 pages, and each page has 4 or 5 designs on it. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I chose this pattern.

The entire quilt has 500 points to turn, some better executed than others. By the time I got to number 438 I was pretty burned out. It also has 145 circles, 40 of which are 1/4". What was I thinking? There are many interesting designs on this disk that are adaptable to appliqué, and I hope to use others in the future.

This quilt is of, and was made for, Maestro Paul Perry of Music in the Mountains

The block patterns were designed by Mary Kay Perry Designs. I love the movement and the graceful look of the Art Nouveau period. I worked on this quilt for about one year.
