Mystery Circle/Winding Ways/Wheel of Mystery quilt
Large, colorful quilt comprised of various fabrics in an irregular grid pattern featuring 13 biblical proverbs, depicted through geometric motifs and images of people and animals, including: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones; All that glitters is not gold; What goes around, comes around; To enter the Kingdom of God, you must walk a straight and narrow path; A light on a hill cannot be hidden; You have to crawl before you can walk; Why focus on the speck of dust in someone else's eye when you have a log in your own; The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence; He who laughs last, laughs best; Mothers do not wear crowns; Don't bite the hand that feeds you; A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush; Don't just put your foot down, plant it.
