Quilters Lead Pieceful Lives.

Cubes, cubes, cubes!

Here are two of my 3D quilts, "Impossible Triangle" and "3D Color Study".

Careful use of color values and placement gives a three-dimensional look and feel to these quilts.

They look difficult (if not impossible!) to make, yet both are done with all straight line seams. The top one is made out of equilateral triangles sewn in slanted columns.  The bottom one is made the same way, with the addition of the thin strips at the "edges" of the boxes.

Boxing Match

Another quilt combining 3D cubes, lots of colors and shades, and the play of light and shadows.

The quilt is designed as if the light is pointing up from below the center. Thus, the middle of each cube has the lightest value.

The name of the piece is a pun: They are "boxes" and each pair "matches".  So: "Boxing Match"!


The quilting was done as free-motion, matching the color-value in each cube's face. Almost invisible from the front; very interesting on the back!
