(busywork 2008 by ann rhode, 44W x 44L”)
the quilt block idea for busywork was inspired by the pattern ann saw in a gray rug. her intention was to alternate the two blocks and have the stripes emphasize a horizontal stripe that alternated with an on point stripe.
somehow, ann lost the original plan in the design process and the quilt became much more free form with a color/pattern emphasis. the result causes the viewers eyes’ to bounce around the quilt.
