This art quilt composition emphasizes rhythm and balance through repetition and color reversals across the piece. The artwork is a vibrant abstract composition featuring a series of vertically oriented, irregular rectangular shapes arranged side by side. Each shape is filled with bold, contrasting colors including shades of orange, red, green, purple, brown, cream, yellow, teal, and blue. Within each shape, smaller elongated forms in contrasting colors are nested, creating layered geometric patterns.
After hand cutting pieces of solid colored fabric, designing the composition, and sewing the pieces together I layered the quilt top with cotton batting and stitched many closely-spaced lines through the layers to add texture. This is called matchstick quilting.
