My comment is a little late but I just discovered this blog posting about my work. I appreciate the recognition and I want to comment on some of the knock-off remarks.

I began making improvisational quilts in 1990, over 20 years ago, long before the Gees bend quilts were the rage. I was inspired by African-American improvised quilts that were first exhibited across the country in the late 80's, and by others such as Nancy Crow.

There's no knock-off going on. The quilting tradition has always embraced a tradition of openness and sharing of patterns, design, techniques and inspiration. Everyone improvises differently but no one person or community has an exclusive right to the process.

Some of the comments here are obviously made out of an ignorance of the rich and extensive history of quilt making.
