| The famous clock in the center of the large hall that inspired so many of the quilts. |
 |
| Read more about this quilt here........ This quilt has so much going on, the center is a clock that is set into a tiny 3d well made with beautiful stitches and detail. I would have to give her very high marks for inventiveness and use of fabric. I am so glad I did not have to judge this challenge. |
