he struggled through Alzheimer's disease.
This design is inspired by a quilt top I made but never finished. When I sewed the squares together, I was full-time caregiver of my father-in-law during his last years as he succumbed to Alzheimer's. His mind was always active but his memories became all mixed up and sometimes he even told my stories as though they were his own, mixing histories and lives in crazy order and strange realities. Some day I'll finish the quilt top but I think its unfinished look is part of what it portrays anyway. This design features bits and pieces, like fading memories all out of order but still beautiful.
