Watchful Eyes
Nancy E. Schmitt
Materials: African wax prints, satin, glass beads
My friend Terry was partial to bright colors and collected African wax prints. She made a bed-sized quilt for her son with a simple, large half-square triangle pattern to highlight these special fabrics.
Half of the square was made in the same dark blue fabric as the background allowing these bold and colorful print triangles to dance across her quilt. The two print rectangles in my piece are scraps from that quilt.
They remind me of the watchful eyes of exotic birds. Sometimes, it’s all about a beautiful print.
