Basket Weave Quilt

 We drove home late last night from

Road To California 

What a wonderful experience.

So much to see and do!

I took a few moments here and there

away from our Vendor booth

to capture some of the beautiful quilts in the Show.

The bright colors and geometric designs of

Basket Weave II: See Saw

by Ann B. Feitelson 

Montague, MA

drew me in.

I am always curious of the process that goes on
in a quilters brain

as they develop a piece.

What visions and colors do they see in the creative process?

I appreciated how much Ann shared on her card

that accompanied this quilt.

 She wrote:

Five sequenced solids combine with five sequenced stripes or plaids

to make a group of 25.

The color groups are interwoven and

all of the baskets in a color group face one direction.

Directional shifts reveal the different color groups.

 Triangle shapes have reciprocal forces, pushing up and down,

like a See Saw, reversing and balancing.  

The title also refers to seeing and having seen,

the way vision shifts in every blink."
