This quilt symbolizes the room in my head in which all my quilts are designed. I chose not to have the walls clearly defined. I felt that this room needed an ethereal feeling. The stars represent what I see when I close my eyes and to where we all need to strive for. The abstract on the wall is the mass of colour, the magnificent choices we have in fabric. Not one piece of fabric is duplicated in this abstract design. In this room I placed a door that is slightly ajar. This door represents all the different ideas and skills that one needs to keep in mind during the creation of a quilt. If I slam the door on one particular technique then when I need it I would have to work so much harder to learn it. I tend to see that this door is often wide open. I quilted the quote from Paul Gauguin on the two borders.
