Like its sisters Part Two and Part Three, this wallhanging uses block measurements from the Fibonacci sequence up to 13" -- 1", 2", 3", 5", 8" and 13". It was made back in 2003-ish for our old dining room. It was damaged a few years later so has sat waiting in my WIP pile to be fixed.
For the quilting, I used Aurifil # 2312 and used a walking foot quilting technique that I learned from Heather Lair. I decided that I wanted circles to be prominent on this piece for a sort of crop circle effect. I really love this style of quilting.
The back gives you a better idea of the quilting.
This quilt is 12.25" by 31", just like Part Three. I lost 3/4" on the width and 1/2" on the height from the tighter quilting.
Why do I find Fibonacci numbers so interesting? This short TED Talk by Arthur Benjamin shares what's makes this sequence so cool.
So glad your wall hangings are restored -- and even improved upon! -- since their run-in with the crown molding caulk. I really enjoyed learning more about the inspiration behind these unique pieces. One fewer WIP means you get to celebrate by starting a new WIP, right? : )

That quilting is wonderful! I don't know about Heather Lair - I'll have to try Google!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing your restoration work, MR! They look fabulous!
ReplyDelete❤️ This is my favourite of the three! They look fantastic together, good job fixing them!
ReplyDeleteThose are just amazing! I like the quilting you did on this one!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the fibonacci clip. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Can you come quilt something of mine with that cool circle?
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on this. Excellent! Glad all your pieces are back together.
ReplyDeleteHurray for fixing all of them! I love the set all together, what fun representations of the Fibonacci sequence!
ReplyDeleteI think Fibonacci is a cool concept and I think it's cooler that you made it into a quilt!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish for a Thanksgiving Friday. hope you have a great long weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful hanging - love it all and especially the colours. I too am interested in Fibonacci and used it in a quilt some time ago but have not used it for a while. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! How was it damaged?
