While living in France, Sheila had the opportunity to visit some really beautiful sites. One of those sites was the Colorado Provençal, which has a village called Roussillon. In Roussillon, they used to mine ochre, with the landscape surrounding it being a lush green and all of the structures having a beautiful ochre color. While Sheila is often inspired by color, she doesn't plan what her piece is going to be, and this quilt was not her usual color palette. Using the colors of Roussillon as her inspiration, Sheila created her quilt. Upon showing the quilt to someone, they said it reminded them of looking down on the ruins of an ancient civilization, and thus the title was sealed as Ruins of Roussillon.
