First place in the "New Quilts From an Old Favorite: Sunflower" contest was awarded to Claudia Clark Myers of Duluth, Minn., and Marilyn Badger of St. George, Utah, for their quilt titled "Gypsy Caravans." Classic Sunflower blocks in orange and blue spin in an asymmetrical arrangement evoking the look of a gypsy wagon. The second-place quilt, "Sun Flower Duet," by Geri Parker and Kathy McNeil of Coupeville, Wash., interprets the Sunflower block as a composition of 12 blocks on a glowing purple background.
