Grandmother Katarina Hegy Schreiner made the top in the 1880s from fabrics dating back to the 1790s. Arnold's mother gave him the top in 1994. Arnold disassembled it, replaced damaged patches, and rearranged the configuration into a Colorwash with a secondary star images. It was awarded a second place in the hand quilting Masterpiece category at NQA in 2013. |
