This is one of a series of quilts
in which three dimensional, constructed tucks are
incorporated into a patterned background. The background
fabric was painted with fiber reactive dyes, in a
radiating design of pure, intense, rainbow hues.
Each of the 1/2" "tucks"
was constructed from two different fabrics. The right
sides of the tucks were made from fabrics dyed in
a gradation of values from white to navy blue to black.
The left sides of the tucks are a 44 hue gradation
of pure rainbow colors. The use of both color and
value gradations, and the twisting of the tucks from
side to side, create the illusion of movement and
light across the surface of the quilt.
Lattice strips between the horizontal sections
of tucks are made from hand painted, rainbow striped
fabric.
A radiating, string pieced border
draws the eye into the three dimensional center panel
of the quilt. The border is constructed from alternating
strips of solid graduated colors and hand painted
striped fabric.
