Quilt Pattern Type

Most of my patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but I sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section.

QUILT starts with the base colors in gradated blends, arranged into a simple quilt block, usually with a specific motif in the center (star or tree, for instance). The block is reduced and recombined to make a square cane with 16 blocks on its face.

This pattern was first developed in 2003
