"Kaleidoscope Trees" by Judith Phelps was inspired by the book, "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr.
In All the Light We Cannot See, a little girl goes blind at the age of six, so to her, "The huge cypress trees she and her father pass on their morning walk are shimmering kaleidoscopes, each needle a polygon of light." That line was the inspiration that sparked the creation of this quilt. Judith says, "the quilt was made to be viewed from both sides, has three layers and is completely thread painted except for the outer borders."
