I've mentioned before that as a youth I wanted to become an architect; and was told that girls didn't do that in the 1950s. I wasn't particularly prone to buck the system in those days; so I said okay, I'll do something else. No regrets here; as the observation of architecture and structures continues to be a pleasant part of my everyday life and travels, a great avocation. I especially enjoy the juxtaposition of the old and the new, plus the regal with the mundane. What ties it all together is usually the geometry involved. Quiltmaking is a great extension of that theory for me.
So, in this quilt I juxtapose a log cabin variation with an architectural triangle. The inspiration is from two buildings located in our town.

It's always interesting to me to see the pattern develop when the body design intersects with the border.
