Thee center quilt is by Astrid Hilger Bennett. I've admired her work for a long time. She is an avid drafter, drawing from nature constantly. These drawings translate into wonderful natural forms which she paints, prints, and draws. This is also from the Quilts=Art=Quilts show,.
I love to ask others what they would choose to own from all the pieces in the exhibit. Astrid Hilger Bennett's work always strikes me as joyful and full or life. So, I'd choose hers, the one in the middle, to own. Since it is made as a functional work, I'd use it as well.
