Blocks, Basil, Saffron and Pumpkin,2009
Commission for Hospital, Warner Robbins, Georgia
48" x 60"
This special quilt was done in the client's custom colors for a lobby of a hospital. It is framed under glass and mounted on linen. It is a variation of an old classic quilt design called "broken dishes" or "X blocks". It is a classic design which is both contemporary and traditional at the same time. I selected earthy bright greens, saffron and bright yellows and rich warm oranges from my stash of silks and papers. There were quite a few kimonos which were in the right colors for this commission, including one which is tiny wooden Japanese dolls that I love. I also painted papers for this commission. Blocks are cut at 2 3/8" and the strips between are cut at 1/2" and sewn with 1/10" seams.
Commissions are available in any size and colors.
