this pattern looked really cool to me. It is a quilt that was made by somebody called E.L. The quilt is called "Double T Pattern". The blue line that borders the quilt is not actually supposed to be there, that happened when i copied the image from the website. I liked the quilt design because no matter which way you pick it up, there is something different to look at. The first thing that stood out to me was the black diamonds that are formed by the white diamonds that have the "double t" inside. An argument that can be made from this quilt is whether the white diamonds have fusion, creating the black diamonds, or vice versa. I like how the quilt is only black and white, and doesn't have any other colors. I think that if there were any other colors, the attention would shift, and not be on the double t's as the title suggests.
The first thing that stood out to me were the double T patterns. It was the black diamond for you. I think two colored pattern is just fine on this quilt
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the sense that you are drawn to gridded geometries more than anything else (not a bad thing, just an observation). Quilts are a great example of pattern, because the squares are often made individually from the same pattern, then sewn together. Quilts have gained a much wider audience in the field of contemporary art-- since the 1970's they have been hung on gallery walls in prestigious institutions like the Whitney or the Met. This strikes me as strange, seeing as how they were made for use-- I think the best place to see such things is in their proper context. If you're interested, there are quite a few extraordinary quilts of many different colors and asymmetrical patterns known under the collective name of "Gee's Bend".
