Playing with purpose: A Quilt retrospective takes a deep look inside the evolution of one of today’s most important modern quilt artists. Always fascinated by color, pattern, and design, Victoria Findlay Wolfe found her life’s true joy in quiltmaking. Her diverse and exciting body of work stirs quilters worldwide to dig deeper, take risks, and experiment with fabric. This beautifully photographed retrospective contains photos of more than one hundred forty of Wolfe’s inspiring quilts and the stories behind them.
Being Aware of Your Process
Understanding my process includes everything I do to make a quilt: from the way I buy my fabrics, gather supplies, and find my inspiration.
The middle blocks of this quilt were made using solids and striped fabric. I lost my focus with the pieces, and I put them away in a bin with the striped fabrics…Later, when I revisited the unfinished project, I looked at the stripes and thought, What if I just cut all those stripes up….would it work? In my head I thought, No. But when I cut it up and looked at it, I was pleasantly surprised that my answer had been right there in front of my eyes from the start….Cut, look, trust your instinct, make.
