Formal Garden, 2006Inspired by a trip to the formal gardens of London, Sue created this kaleidoscopic quilt to show the effect of variation within a symmetrical plan. It is a wonderful example of her fascination with the geometry of nature and its influence upon our daily lives. “One day we took a boat ride up the Thames to Hampton Court,” she says. “The formal garden there was incredible. The layout was perfectly symmetrical, and yet within the formal symmetry, there was variation. Plants and statues were similar, but not exactly the same.” The overall plan of her quilt--constructed from her own blue-and-purple floral fabric designs for RJR Fabrics--is balanced. Yet variations in color value, along with pieced leftover squares, add a visual density and feeling of movement that would not otherwise exist.More to check out: Fabric-Free Quilts |
