Design Concept

This is one of a series of quilts that combine zigzags, and spirals, in this case, symmetrical spirals. I created a line drawing in Corel Draw on my computer, then turned my line drawing into separate shapes. Where the shapes crossed, I used different colors and gradations, which makes every shape appear transparent. The design was printed on cotton fabric by Spoonflower. The quilting was done with many different thread colors and patterns. The binding strips were designed especially for this piece. The backing fabric is from my Glacier Park collection for Benartex.
