Ginkgo Wallhanging



Just finished a wallhanging with Ginkgo leaves!

Here I tried to mix some Hawaiian elements of quiltmaking 
(solid colors, symmetries which unfold from the center, tone-on-tone- quilting, forms inspired by nature, a "lei" as a border running around) 
with American / European traditions (more than two colors, patchwork, blocks, a diamond in the center, "sunshine and shadow"-design).

Also, I had in mind a story, or better a poem, which you can find in the post below.

I love lines like:

"Fühlst du nicht an meinen Liedern, dass ich eins und doppelt bin?"

"Is ist not my songs' suggestion,
That I'm one and also two?"
