A Little Bag


"Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams,
Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round."

William Butler Yeats

"The fine art of making ...




... quilts -
masterpieces you can wrap up in" -

This is the title of a fine article by Rick Kogan in the Chicago Tribune.
I enjoyed reading it! The videos are nice as well.

Maltese Cross Quilt



(Maltese Cross, 63 x 63 cm, 24,8" x 24,8", 
three-layer-quilt, sewn and quilted by hand, 
cotton fabrics)

What I like about such a pattern:
it depends how you look at it and you may detect several different patterns.
The dominant pattern for most people presumably is this cross, which resembles a windmill: 




But then, someone else probably finds equally prominent this four pointed star in an eight- sided "circle",




or this star with four inner and four outer points:




Which way ever you might look at it, you're right and the other person, who looks at things differently, is right also! It's all there! Nice idea.
