The design for this quilt is based on the orderly progressions
of scale, observed in nature by thirteenth century mathematician
Leonard Fibonacci. The entire quilt, including the back was
made from leftover strips of fabric from my Gradations Collection
from Benartex. The strips were cut into 1.5", 2.5",
3.5" & 5.5" widths to finish in the Fibonacci
proportions (1-2-3-5) when sewn together. Strips were selected
randomly without regard for color, only contrast. They were
sewn together until their width was 30.5". The strip-pieced
fabric was cross cut into strips in the same proportions,
and every other strip was rotated 180 degrees, so some of
the seamlines line up and other do not. These strips were
sewn together until they formed a 30" square. . One strip
was left and this runs diagonally across the back of the quilt,
with a hand dyed fabric completing the back.
