This is one of my favorite but under recognized quilts. I've shown it a number of times, but it has won few awards. I don't think the judges quite "get" my idea here, or my inspiration.
My workmanship is superb as is the machine quilting done by Ann Becker.
Each block is a nature of garden interpretation of a favorite rock song or artist, thus the title Gardens of Rock (a play on rock gardens). Are you with me so far? The black circle backgrounds represent a vinyl record, the diamond circle border around each record depicts a diamond needle used to play the record. That's it. Very simple.
I made a playlist of the songs and have copied it below.
Rock On!

This is a wonderful quilt that I saw up close last year in Asheville, NC. Thank you for sharing the playlist - all songs I love! Ann Becker is a friend of mine now too, as I might be the person responsible for her checking out Ashe County, NC during her search for a warmer climate. She sings praise about your quilting skills, and your beautiful surroundings that often serve as inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
