Peering into the Cosmos

The inspiration for this quilt came from a photo of old architectural ventilation blocks. What if I overlapped and stacked the blocks? I drafted the basic "Tumbling Block" with an "Attic window" style center and five different orientations of the window. I played around with them on my design wall, overlapping, traditional with no overlap, meandering etc. I chose to stick with my design inspiration and overlap them in rows so they appear to be balanced on top of each other. I quilted the blocks in the ditch and the wavy background lines to give it the look of floating through space.

Thank you, This quilt has some unique piecing techniques that are very doable with the methods I developed during it's construction. It has y-seams (not to be feared) inlaid centers to the block (easy with the technique I used) and the piecing of the blocks together, just takes careful registration marks for straight alignment.Exces s fabric is trimmed after piecing together. It has the possibility for many different layouts and fabric choices.
Thank you for showing interest in a pattern for this quilt. You've inspired me to consider doing so, I'll give you the pattern and instructions if I do.
