Wool Strip Crazy Quilt

This quilt is composed of strips of colors blocks pieced in a linear format, creating a stunning modernistic abstraction. Each of the individual pieces within the strips is meticulously outlined in contrasting thread, which changes color as it traverses the perimeter of the different shapes. This quilt has a warm and rich feel both because of the palette but also the intermingling of velvets and wools. A tan diamond-patterned piece and a blue and beige grid pattern add an unexpected surprise to this essentially elegant modernistic composition.
