Design Concept
For many years a small clipping from a magazine hung over
my desk. It was a picture taken through a microscope of spirogyra,
a single cell, filamentous algae, commonly known as pond scum.
This the second quilt I have made, inspired by the patterns
of dots and curving stripes found in that image.
This entire quilt is a study in intersecting color and value
gradations. The four fabrics used are from my Gradations collection
for Benartex.
The dots are quilted in a pebbly pattern with heavy (#30)
top stitching thread from the Superior Brytes collection.
I matched the color of the background fabric behind each dot,
so the pebbles appear to float. The wavy background stripes
were quilted in matching colors (three shades of each color)
with fine (#60) thread from the Superior Bottom Line collection.
