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.
