Sometimes, when I am stuck for words, I ask my pal, @joecunningham to opine. Here is what Joe has to say about this wonderful, unique piece:
"This quilt maker started with two simple, yet wildly original ideas: instead of building the blocks around a simple red square, she makes each block a frame for the embroidered red square in the middle, each one fascinating and unique.
Then, she decided to alter the normal radiating synergy of the "Barn Raising" layout into something like a barn being raised in an M C Escher drawing, where what you can see is plainly right there before your eyes, but is at the same time almost impossible to describe."
So there you have it. The facts of the quilt ~ and then ~ an artist's take on it.
