Design Concept:
This quilt is part of a series exploring the illusion of
overlapping transparent triangles. The fabrics in the triangles
were designed by Caryl for Benartex and come from her Gradations.
The border fabric is from the Matrix collection by Benartex.
The quilting is a series of curving lines in gold and olive
#30 top-stitching thread from Caryl's Brytes collection
for Superior. The lines emerge from the circular patterns
in the border and flow over the geometric background of
triangles.
Process and Technical Details:
To
make the quilts in this series, I start with two square
blocks with equilateral triangles. Square A has a dark
triangle on a light background and Square B has a light
triangle on a dark background. The squares are sliced
into strips and reassembled with alternating strips
from Square A and Square B. |
