Design of this quilt performed in the technique of tessellation.
During tessellation picture is divided into fragments, which completely fill plane without creating overlaps and gaps. The master of visual arts in the tessellation was MC Escher, the favorite of mathematicians. Creativity of Escher rendered significant influence on the quilts of great master quilting Jinny Beyer. She has created not for one quilt in this style, and even wrote a book about tessellation. I visited her master class and here you can see my result.
Quilt "Dancing Butterflies" consists of 1173 pieces of 139 fabrics.
