I made this quilt years ago for the AQS/National Quilt Museum "New Quilts from an Old Favorite" competition. This time it was chosen for the traveling exhibit and book: "Sawtooth."
This quilt started with the four pineapple blocks in the center of the quilt. I played with them on the design wall until I got them into this funny arrangement. You can see this was made during my 1" strip phase.
I like how the fans look like wheels in this quilt. Ironically, these busy wheels seem to provide the "place for your eye to rest" in this quilt. Could it be?

I think it was very gutsy to make such a very busy quilt. You're right about the fans giving the eye a rest. Remarkably it all really, really works. You're amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I click on the 'here' to see how the fans are made, the link takes me to Amazon and the Sawtooth book.
