Artist's Statement:

Chevron is one of my favorite quilt patterns. I also like to make quilts that invite viewers to question, "How did she do that?" This design brings the two concepts together. Hand-dyed fabrics in eight gradations of aqua and of red provide visual shading. Sulky Silver Metallic quilting thread adds a touch of sparkle.
