Abstractions: Exploring Shape, Color & Composition
Abstractions is a modern quilt pattern that explores color, value, proportion, and composition through simple strip piecing and improvisational layout variations. Working with repeated strip sets and geometric shapes allows lots of room to experiment with contrast, rhythm, and color interaction.
This pattern can be sewn with precise measurements or in a more ruler-free, improvisational way. Small shifts in strip width, proportion, and value placement can completely change the overall feel of the composition. The pattern also includes both machine and hand piecing instructions.
