20 Petals was created by Karen Gloeggler for the Quilt Alliance TWENTY contest.  Here's what she had to say about the quilt, "20 petals, 20 fabrics, congratulations on 20 years! I’ve been designing quilts with “rays” lately and the Quilt Alliance game me a reason to finally make one. This is my original paper-pieced pattern, designed a month ago especially for the Quilt Alliance and machine-pieced and quilted by me. I chose a flower motif because like a flower, the Quilt Alliance is vibrant, beautiful and will last forever, just as a perennial! Congratulations times twenty."

The tower and ceiling were designed by English gothic architect John Wastell.
