Roman Tiles by Ann L. Petersen was the winner for Excellence in Machine Quilting (sponspored by Redlands Sewing Center) at Road to California 2013.
Measuring 76" x 76," Roman Tiles was started in 2008 and finished in 2012. The design basis was a Bella Bella Workshop by Norah McMeeking.
Artist Statement: Started to make a traditional Bella Bella quilt in a Norah McMeeking workshop, but years later, I decided to finish the quilt using Roman mosaics for my inspiration. Quilting designs are my originals. Quilted and then painted with light coat of metallic paint. Center star and all borders are also my original designs.
