Wylie said her quilt symbolizes a journey through life as well as the time and thought put into making art. The quilt took her 3.5 years to make. She won $20,000.. AQS awarded in total more than $120,000 in prizes to Paducah QuiltWeek contest winners determined by public voting. The contest included entries from 42 states and 13 countries. QuiltWeek continues through Saturday.
“And so I’ve done that with different flowers, like birth flowers and with birth stones in each hour of the clock. So if you really look back and analyze it, you’ll see there’s a lot of things that have something to do with time,” said.
