This is the second art quilt using my banded, custom hand dyed fabric. The piece can be displayed in any orientation (vertical or horizontal) as can be seen in the detail image provided. The backing is traditional unbleached muslin and is signed and dated by the textile artist. Same colors were used in this piece as in Sound Waves #1 above. Such a different feel to the piece and yellow stands out much more in this piece. Each consecutive piece will be different and may not fit in with the first pieces. I have hand stitched this piece in not quite as dense of a pattern as I normally do. This piece has Cabarnet Red thread used for the hand stitching. This is to reflect the “wave” aspect of the textile piece and to let the dye design be the focal point. When viewed horizontally, the piece looks like sound waves from an oscilloscope. It reminded me of the term white noise with more of the original background color visible in this piece.

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.
