On Point

This unusually-shaped quilt is called Remarkable Vantage Point. Its creator is Beth Shulman and it was part of a special exhibition at this year's Quilters' Heritage Celebration. The piece, a view down through tall tree at a forest floor, is a great marriage of shape and subject. It is 51 inches from point to point. The challenge was to oppose two 36 inch squares.

This detail highlights some of the thoughtful machine quilting. The artist filled each color area with unique texture, adding to the illusion of spearate trees and patches of rock, undergrowth and earth.

This somewhat blurry detail is worth showing for what looks like couched yarns and fibers, adding more mossy, leafy texture.
I believe hand-dyed fabrics were used and possibly some fabric with texture? Maybe upholstery chenille? The quilt, like all the quilts in this Milwaukee Art Quilters challenge, also includes some means of support for it's points. There is no information how this problem was solved but it looks great.
