This quilt was merely, and quite literally, a prototype. It was executed solely for the purpose

of seeing how a Master would respond to actually being given a quilt. I was lucky. Captain

Ardavanis loved it, and so did his wife and children. Celebrity Cruises Quilt Series Number 5

was made specifically for Captain Ardavanis, and he approved both the design and the layout

before he unexpectedly retired from the company in 1997.
