Design Concept
 |
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 value (light
to dark) gradations of the three primary colors (Turquoise,
yellow, fuchsia), and the three secondary colors (green,
orange, purple). 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 groups of triangles were sewn together,
the illusion of long vertical diamonds appeared in the
background. In contrast to the geometry of the pieced
design, the quilting was done in a freeform, swirling,
organic design, using shiny rayon embroidery thread in
many colors. All of the machine quilting was done freehand,
with no marking of the quilt top. The original design
for this quilt was drawn, using Corel Draw, a computer
assisted design program.
