Design Concept

This design was loosely inspired by a colorful fractal screen saver. The curving templates were cut from many different fabrics in the Gradations collection, which I designed for Benartex. The top was heavily quilted in an overall curving pattern with many different colors of thread to match the background fabrics. I then used heavy, #30 polyester top-stitching thread in contrasting colors to create a series of shapes that seem to sweep across the surface.
