This is one of a series of quilts, exploring the illusion
of overlapping transparent triangles. The triangles were
pieced from strips of fabric, hand dyed in various gradations
of light to dark colors. . Each triangle was pieced separately
and then cut into horizontal strips. The strips of two triangles
were alternated when they were sewn back together. This
creates the illusion of more than one triangle occupying
the same space. As the two sets of triangles were sewn together,
the illusion of a third set of triangles appeared in the
center. A border of hand painted fabric surrounds the geometric
center panel. The binding is black.
In contrast to the geometry of the pieced design, the quilting
was done in a freeform, swirling, organic design with heavy
variegated top stitching thread. Rainbow colored acrylic
sweater yard was also couched in loops across the surface
of the quilt. All of the machine quilting was done freehand,
with no marking of the quilt top.
