Variations on a Theme
One of the most striking features of traditional quilting
is the rhythm of the repeated block.
Creating a repeated block with variations
adds depth and interest to the overall design.
In this series I began each project with six fabrics
and a circular motif as the featured design element.
A collage based technique and a step-by-step approach to construction is laid out,
but there are many points along the way for a variety of creative acts
to make each set unique.
