Description:
Redux 117 is Marge's modern reimagining of antique crazy quilt she had purchased that originated from the late 1800s. That original antique quilt featured 117 blocks, each about 5 inches, with each block having its own unique design. Inspired by that crazy quilt, Marge wondered how it would look if she remade it in a contemporary way using the bright solid fabrics that she liked to work with. After completing Redux 117, named for the remade 117 blocks of the antique quilt, Marge felt that she brought those blocks back to life through her modern adaptation.
