Sister Quilt, Miriam
A patchwork grid of long-cabin squares folded in half. Each piece is composed of rectangles that spiral around one central square. The aggregation of self-similar fabrics creates a subtle, secondary grid of larger stepped squares alternating light/plain, and dark/patterned. Small patches stand out within this overarching pattern, and a scattering of small rectangular patches are pinned along the sides. The backside, a threadbare gray fabric dappled with oblong holes revealing a patchy interior.
