Made for the local guild challenge of circle theme. A compressed universe of sun, planets, comet, super-nova representing science, religion and art represented by Newton, Einstein, Hawking, DaVinci's Universal Man and four world-views. Circle is machine-quilted using concentric circles around four focal points. Outer grid of infinite universes is hand-quilted.

I made this quilt for an antique rope bed, limiting the choice of fabrics in the dark half of each block and using black diamonds for a graphic design. My goal was a quilt with a traditional feeling that reflects my own individuality. Design is an original Courthouse steps variation. Source of the design was the American Quilters' Society.
