Purple wants to reign supreme, but orange and purple struggle for power.
I cut all the lines and shapes freehand and machine pieced them, building one large quarter log cabin block, as purple and orange battle it out, trying to outdo each other.
I used many different purple and orange fabrics of different values and hues, and both glowing and flat to add a lot of depth and movement.
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.
