wool (pieced and hand quilted) 198 x 208 cm (78 x 82”) I fell in love with Center Star with Corner Stars (c.1890), an Amish quilt in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum, from the first moment I saw it. It haunted me until finally I decided to recreate it as meticulously as possible. The difference was that mine would be “black and white” (as in a black-and-white photograph) to the original’s color. I contacted the museum registrar, Ann-Marie Riley, who kindly made arrangements for me to view the quilt in the museum's storage facility. I studied it, measured it and photographed it in detail, before beginning my own version. Making this quilt was an act of homage.
