Description:

Artist Statement: "Long improvisational pieced curves in black and white were cut into squares and then sewn into half square triangles. The quilt is visually graphic with black and white curves "breaking through" the angled lines of the blocks. While quilting, I was thinking of relationships; how much compromise goes into them, how at times you take more than you give and at other times you give more than you take. Relationships are never black and white."

 

Techniques Used: Machine Pieced, Sewing Machine Quilted

Simply stunning! I love this quilt. Like Susan, I would love to see how you designed this quilt. It is so very striking and dramatic with only two colors.

This is one of the most remarkable quilt patterns I have ever seen. It is beautiful and the fact that the pattern changes in each block, yet it showcases a repeatable black and white square is absolutely genius! How in the world did you come up...

This is one of the most remarkable quilt patterns I have ever seen. It is beautiful and the fact that the pattern changes in each block, yet it showcases a repeatable black and white square is absolutely genius! How in the world did you come up with that? It would be really interesting to watch and take a class in just how to make this! It also must have been a lot of fun as well as challenging! Then, my other thought is, if you took the same blocks and spun them around what would happen next? Really innovative! This is a great example of how quilting is an art form, and ONLY WITH 2 COLORS! Amazing!

No it is NOT. I appreciate this quilt, especially after reading the “about this quilt”. I love “improv” quilts!
