- Here I
was challenged to
piece a quilt inspired by the following quotation from the book Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin:
-
"Then, from
atop a long rise, they saw the village sparkling like a
group of colored candles. It was on the edge of the lake,
which was crowned by the blue and green aura now hanging in
the sky in astounding silent ribbons. Smoke from
chimneys crept up in intertwining white garlands and tangled
on the moon."
- I chose
to design my quilt around the pinwheel motif, experimenting with more
than one size pinwheel, and to spin them in opposite directions in order
to create exaggerated and interrupted patterns. A shower of light
is suggested by pinwheels spinning in and out of the scene while along
the edge of the quilt the motif angles into oblique pinwheels forming a
“viewer’s perch” at the foreground of this winter tableau.
