The color in this piece reflects a careful observation of the colors of water and night. The patterns used are two traditional American quilt block patterns. I started working on a series of quilts with this theme when I lived in Alaska. The subtle and clear colors of the Alaska sea and sky are reflected in this abstract piece. The fabric is purchased and the patterns used are two traditional American quilt block patterns. Blue, green and black squares of cotton fabric are cut into squares and triangles. The larger squares are 4 inches, the smaller are 2 inches. This quilt has cotton batting inside with a blue cotton fabric backing. The quilt stitches that hold the layers together cross the quilt in a linear, diagonal pattern. The binding is machine and hand stitched. A hanging sleeve is included. This quilt can be easily washed and is suitable for bedding. It is crib sized.
