Quilt of the Day - Aquamarine



I hestitated to start a blog because I didn't think I finished quilts often enough to warrant it. But I've been making quilts for 25 years so I think I can find pictures of some of my older quilts to post. This quilt was made about 16 years ago. I had cut lots and lots of strips with the intention of making a log cabin vest or jacket. That never happened, but later I sewed the strips into sets and used an equilateral triangle to cut pieces. Then I played with the arrangement until I got this. I machine quilted it in mostly straight lines that changed direction when hitting a differently angled block. The intention was to show light rays bending through a crystal or prism.
