Crescendo:
67 x 86.
Often in musical arrangements, the exciting parts
are announced in a grand forte after building in intensity from a soft
pianissimo. This is called a crescendo. Like a conductor who masterfully
builds to the grand finale by punctuating notes and tempo, and repeating
rhythms, Crescendo's subtle fabric placements from light to dark with
interspersion of texture heightens the visual excitement.

Revolutions
47.5 x 55 :
This quilt is about taking a motif and rotating it. How many
revolutions does it take to make a circle or to create an entire
composition?
Hand dyed sateens improvisation ally pieced to give the illusion of 3
layers. One side has 70 small, highly quilted motifs turned in different
directions. The top layer consists of larger sizes of the motifs that have
been rotated to form 5 circles positioned across the quilt in the lightest
values. The bottom layer is two very large motifs in the darkest values
which have revolved and form a half circle.

Chromatic Rhythms:
61.5" x 80.25": One large gong dominates the piece,
and is surrounded by the elements that make it up in smaller sizes. The
quarter
circles, the crossbars, and extreme close-ups of the crossbars which tend to
give it a staccato rhythm in those sections. Extensive free motion quilting
in various rhythmic patterns enhances the overall appearance.
