Explorations of Mariners' Compasses

These three pieces are part of an ongoing series of experiments I’m working on to see how far I can go with “quilts”.  All three of these fairytale forms started off as quite traditional quilted mariner’s compass blocks that were painted, free-motion quilted, cutaway, and sculpted.  I leave it to the viewer! Does it still look like a quilt?

2017, 24"W x 36"D x 18"H, $700

For more on these pieces, see my blog posts about them.
