Description:

After free hand drawing the initial concept for their quilt, Midnight at the Celtic Garden, Garry Olson went to his wife Mary with the hopes to begin making it. Once she saw what he had drawn, she told him that he was nuts and there was no way that was going to be their next quilt. She had no idea how she would quilt the points of the Celtic and didn't know how to proceed. Garry told her that if they removed the points they would lose the whole purpose of his design. After taking the time to think it through, Mary decided that he was right and figured out how to incorporate them into the quilting.
