Wowie, I just found Nancy Crow’s quilting website today. The page with all the photographs of her quilts puts me in visual heaven.

There is something about the very-tidy, very-detailed thing that most quilts have (the little triangles, etc.) that just is not my style. I love things to be just a bit more organic. I have a small wall quilt made for me by my Sister-in-Law, Jane, that has five-pointed stars on it, but the stars are not at all symmetrical. I love that. (I will have to show you this quilt one day here… I already showed you the bargello quilt another of my Sisters-in-Law, Judy, made me.)

Nancy Crow’s qulits are machine-pieced but not in a tightly-geometric way. I love the organic feel to the images she creates. Sigh… what a gift on this very, very cold day!
