Artist's Statement:

Haynes' title Study in Squares [Ego of a Quilter] was what inspired this second pythagorean theorem quilt spin-off. The first quilt, Study in Right Triangles, as the title indicates is a study, with numbers proving how the equation works. In this second quilt I wanted this notable equation a² + b² = c² to speak for itself--for the ego to shine on its own.
