Inspired by the amazing floors seen in the MonrealeCathedral in Sicily, this quilt represents a collaborative effort with my mother. She is a fabulous precision piecer, and the quilt would never have been completed without her. As we were working on it, we did not know she was losing sight in her right eye, and her other eye was diminished with a cataract. I'm so grateful for her help and for having a quilt with so much of her sewn into it!
