When Jenny K. Lyon, author of Free-Motion Quilting from Ordinary to Extraordinary, says your work has "beautiful quilting and a gorgeous design," you have already won, but Sherry Werum's quilt, My Modern May Basket, (62" x 62") also won 2nd Place in the Pacific International Quilt Festival's Mid-Century Modern Quilt Competition 2017.
 
We recently found the quilt on exhibit at AQS QuiltWeek Spring Paducah 2019 and were also struck by the exceptional quilting which repeats and enhances the motifs of the basket pieces inspired by the May Basket Liberty Cover 1927 by Frank Lloyd Wright.

I have been a FLLW fan for many years. So when I found the cross stitch pattern for the May Basket, I immediately made it for hubby's May birthday. Then when Jackie Robinson came to my city with her class, I joined right up, started the wall hanging but sadly I never finished it. Kudos to Sherry for going the extra mile.

Recently visited FLW home/studio in Oak Park, Illinois. The motifs and themes are great sources for quilt ideas. Sherry Werum has interpreted the idea not just in the graphics but also in the beautiful Quilting.
Inspiring to all.

I lean more toward traditional quilting but this is so good. And all hand quilted? Amazing.

In all the years I've looked at the excellent quilts here I've never made the effort to comment. I have to on this one. This is unbelievably beautiful. The design is magnificent. The quilting is so creative, so perfect. What an artist.

This is sweet! The traditional basket design doesn't do anything for me, but I like yours a lot. I like all the geometric shapes and the quilting is fabulous!

What a fun quilt! I love everything about it. The design and adaptations are repeated through out the piecing and quilting. What a tribute to Wright.
