Circle Patchwork Quilts


This is a circular design painted on a doorway in Bhutan the Himalayan Kingdom. Below is the 1950s circular Patchwork Quilt design. I like the contrasting ways the artists have worked and in the Bhutanese one the bright use of colours. The centre design made of hexagons is similar to the yin and yang sign in the middle of the Bhutanese one. The repetitive forms of Bhutanese deign could provide lots of inspiration for patchwork quilts.






I like the way this Patchwork Quilt design has the orange colour of the Bhutanese Painting and the stars which are like flowers.
This quilt called Teton Star has some of those vibrant Autumn colors, see it at this link
