Artist's Statement:

This mini was inspired by a vintage silk quilt dating back to the decades between 1850-1870. My goal was to put a contemporary spin on the dominant overall design of this quilt. After selecting a limited color palette, each hexagon was cut from contemporary fabric and framed using an assortment of commercial prints. These hexagons were pieced around a center hexagon featuring a star just like the original, but then nestled inside one large hexagon which was then appliqued to a grid-like background fabric. There is machine in-the-ditch quilting within the large hexagon and the background is quilted in grid fashion. The final step was using perle cotton to embellish the piece with angled lines that hint at the "hidden star" in the original quilt.
