Description:
Artist Statement: "This quilt was based on a medicine wheel, with spiritual symbols from across cultures and time. The East stands for enlightenment, the South for plants and emotion, the West for earth and ancestors, and the North for the wind, thunder, and animals. It was bound with a hand-appliquéd Sawtooth binding that extends the colors for each direction to the edge of the piece."
