Look Deep, Deep into My Eyes

Look Deep, Deep into My Eyes

2016

62" x 58"

This Quilt was designed for the Michael Miller Fabric Challenge at QuiltCon 2017 in Savannah, Georgia. It won Second Place.

Because of the repeated squares in the Michael Miller Luxe fabric "Tumble Blocks" pattern, I was inspired to explore a design using a traditional half-square triangle. Curious how I could manipulate this technique, I also brought in half-rectangle triangles the dimensions of two side-by-side squares. With only these two blocks and some solid squares, this creature grew. The design, which is mirrored down the middle, ends up being reminiscent of a Totem Pole, a Rorschach Test, or perhaps a Wild Thing. It is intended to be open to interpretation to the eyes of the beholder.
