Last week Ricky spoke with Victoria Findlay Wolfe about her new exhibit at the International Quilt Museum entitled Option Expedition. In the exhibit, Victoria "takes basic shapes of patchwork — square, circle, triangle, parallelogram — and breaks down design principles of space, balance, scale, line, shape, color, emphasis, contrast, value, repetition, movement, texture, and unity to look at the bold, beautiful choices available."
