Artist's Statement:
I chose Mary Kay Batte's quilt as my inspiration because I loved the blues and the tiny diamonds. Due to the economy, I feel any true quilter that quilts from their heart can use whatever they have available and make a beautiful quilt out of it. I quilted and pieced this on a domestic Brother SQ 9050. The quilt was traditionally pieced and each square unit finished at 1.5 inches and 1 inch sewn. Since I love triangles and geometric shapes I wanted to incorporate them into the design. The quilt was designed, pieced and quilted by me. I am a self-taught quilter, I have difficulty reading patterns and understanding the math, so I started designing my own in a way that I could put them together. I am a visual learner. I like to design things that are unorthodox but use traditional piecing methods.
