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 of
diagonal feathered plumes.
The feathers are quilted in darker colored threads that
contrast with the background, and the negative spaces between
the feathers are quilted in a mixture of organic patterns
with threads that blend, 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 Splash collections. A smaller version of this
design was developed into a pattern, workshop on CD, and kit,
which are available from our Bryerpatch
Studio Internet Store. |
