This is one of a series of quilts, exploring the illusion
of overlapping transparent triangles. The triangles were
pieced from strips of commercial fabrics that look like
strip piecing in gradations. A series of circles made from
fabric hand dyed in a gradation of turquoise was appliqued
over the pieced background. The quilting was done with variagated
cotton top stitching thread. In contrast to the geometry
of the pieced quilt top, is done in swirling, free-motion,
organic patterns.
