Gallery, Quilts 6-10
Untitled (Geen naam 2001-2002) 138cm x 242cm (54" x 95") A quilt for a bed, based on a traditional Islamic pattern. The pattern is more easily recognizable from another angle. | |
Tablecloth (Tafelkleed 2002) 162cm x 162cm (63.5" x 63.5") This quilt was designed for the theme '5'. De basic shape used in this tensided tablecloth for a round table is the fivepointed star (pentagram), surrouned by a regular pentagon. These pentagons form a selfreplicating pattern (a so-called fractal), which occupies a large part of the quilt. The remaining space is filled by an unpatterned fabric. Quilt detail. | |
Colored Blocks (Gekleurde blokken 2003) 47cm x 47cm (18.5" x 18.5") A small in-between project to experiment with colors. | |
Spin-off (2003) 130cm x 130cm (51" x 51") This design derives from the tensided tablecloth. While making the tablecloth I discovered unexpected circular patterns which I transformed into five perfect circles, overlapping in the middle of this quilt. Each circle has its own theme; the basic colors for the circles are matched to the patterned fabrics used in the centres of the pentagons. Quilt detail. | |
Checkerboard (Schaakbord 2003) 99cm x 81cm (39" x 32") Designed by using a 3D modeling computer program and tracing the resulting picture in EQ4 to be able to print templates for the pieces (all shaped slightly different). Quilt detail. | |
