sylvainber Focal Point: A Geometric Stained Glass Window - Inspired by stained glass windows and simple geometry, four waves of colors originate in the corners and wash over each other. A fifth wave of color originates from a single dot in the center and runs over the entire quilt. The resulting design is of ever changing color according to the light and angle of vision. Seen from any of the corners, the quilt appears almost monochromatic. When seen from a moving perspective (as in walking), the colors ebb and flow across the surface in an ever changing image (the original image was created as an integral design spanning the entire surface of the quilt, then subdivided in to squares while removing the equivalent of the sashing pieces). This piece demonstrates how embroidery can be used to create the whole design of a quilt, with conventional piecing and sashing for assembly.
