Mediterranean Semaphore | Minimalist Geometry

Mediterranean Resized

60″ high x 60″ wide
Photography by Douglas Sandberg

This minimalist quilt consists of just two repeating blocks—right-angled blue/green silks set into a gray background. But variations in placement create a design that’s vibrant, whimsical, and captivating. It’s abstract but reminds me of semaphore, a seafaring connection underscored by its colors.
