Quilts and Color Exhibition Book

I bought a used copy of the Museum of Art Boston exhibition book for the Quilts and Color exhibit and it arrived yesterday. 


It’s a fabulous collection of Pilgram/Roy quilts described in terms of art. Below is the painting and description used to describe the use of colors in the Vibrations section of quilts where Julie was first inspired to make a cheddar, green & red quilt.




And here is the Cheddar & Dill inspiration quilt……stunning, no?


Julie found further inspiration from Gigi’s Thimble 4/24/2015 blog post for a single wedding ring quilt. And here is the sheet Julie sent to me with the fabrics.


There are several quilts from the exhibit that are inspiring me, including this one from the Optical Illusion section.


The exhibition book is wonderful and used copies are pretty inexpensive. I highly recommend getting a copy!

Cheers, Cherie

    Sounds like an interesting book. The quilt from the optical illusion section caught my eye. It is way beyond my skillset. But, I'll cheer you on if you decide to make one.

    Lynne and I bought the book before we visited the exhibit. And I can't tell you how many times since then I've pulled it off the shelf and wandered through the pages again. Glad you found a used copy in good condition - enjoy it!

    So inspiring! Do I detect a bit of your signature Cheddar in the quilt that's inspiring you????
