Naming pieces can be difficult. This piece feels more majestic and rich with the black and gold fabric dominating the piece. It is the same fabrics and design as Fiesta Pinwheels, but has a totally different feel to the piece. Four commercial fabrics were used to make this piece of textile art that has sparkle from the white background fabric as well as the black/gold fabric which adds a touch of elegance. The hand quilting stitches enhance the overall design of the piece. The quilting in the two borders gives this piece a unique, subdued finish. As with all of my work, the piece is also hand bound. The back of the wall hanging is covered traditionally, with unbleached muslin and is signed and dated by the textile artist.

Quilts were originally created to provide warmth in cold climates. Now quilts have come off the bed and become textile artworks in the 20th and 21st century.
The basic premise of 2 layers of cloth with a filler of batting held together by stitching is still relevant today. Now the artworks are made out of many materials and fibers and are made to be displayed as artwork just as paintings, photographs, and tapestries.
