                | This quilt is part of a series exploring the illusion of 
                    overlapping transparent triangles. The quilting was done with 
                    polyester top stitching thread, beginning with a series feathered 
                    plumes radiating out from the bottom right corner and curling 
                    into the center.  The feathers are quilted in lighter colored threads that 
                    contrast with the background, and the negative spaces between 
                    the feathers are quilted in a mixture of organic patterns 
                    with variagated thread that blends, in most places, with the 
                    underlying fabrics.
 The quilts in this series 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. All of the fabrics in this 
                    quilt were designed by Caryl for Benartex and come from her 
                    Gradations and Milti-tye-dye collections. A pattern, complete 
                    workshop on CD and all of the fabrics for this quilt are available 
                    from the Bryerpatch 
                Studio Internet Store. |  |
