The above six quilts are a series entitled 10/26/91-8/22/92: Birth, Death, Fire
These pieces interpret some of the emotions I experienced during and since the short life of my first grandson. The inspiration to design a star block in his memory came when a friend sent this quote from Romeo and Juliet:

Using the same block as the base for each piece, I manipulated color placement, fabric choice, and block configuration to create the appearance that each is a different design. Working through this series proved to be both a vehicle for artistic challenge as well as emotional healing. Originally, these pieces were in perfect condition. Life doesn't always follow our planned progression; a fire in my studio added to the adjustments that must be made in order to continue living. The series in its fragile but stable condition still stands as a reflection of the emotions experienced for Alexander's birth and death.
