This prize-winning quilt was created to honor the New England Quilt Museum's Silver Jubilee. My inspiration was a line in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream:

     And then the moon, like to a silver bow

     New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night

     Of our solemnities.

As the viewer moves from left to right, the silver, crescent, new moon metamorphoses into a traditional quilt star block, symbolic of the New England Quilt Museum.
