PRISM BREAK


After making almost 300 quilts, I have the sewing techniques down.  However, the design of any quilt is still an experiment.

Some of the quilts I make I am really pleased with the outcome; others not so much.  This quilt falls into the "not so much" category.  I wanted to experiment with an off-set sashing after making the prism blocks.  The blocks were dark; so I thought it needed a light spark in the sashing, but I chose too light of a neutral. The sashing then became the focus and not what I intended.

The positives --  #1 I'm pleased with the quilting design, it adds a lot of texture.  #2 It's finished; I'll document it with a photo, file it away, and maybe someone will pay a few bucks for the quilt at an estate sale.  #3 Always a learning experience!

THE STATS:  Prism Break, 2025, 33" x 33", Paper Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted.

The name -- Living in a prison town, we are always aware of a rare prison break.  Prism Break seemed applicable with this quilt!
