African Spikes, Curves and Bars

This quilt has great interesting elements:

• African fabric, mixed with what are probably non-African-produced animal prints,checks and possibly some patterned batiks


• A simple, basic arrangement of gently curved pieces lined up in regular, horizontal bars.


• The bars are interrupted a few dramatic times with curved pieces put together with spikey, Orange Peel-type piecing


• The surface is embellished with varigated ribbon yarn and what looks like some cord.
  
• Metallic Quilting that loosely echos the shape of the vertical piecing.
