Circular Abstractions - Off the Wall Friday

Orbital 1, Heather Pregger and Marks IV, Kaci Kyler

Recently, I was lucky enough to see the exhibit, Circular Abstractions - Bulls-eyes Quilts at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY.  The exhibit was born from a challenge issued by Nancy Crow to fellow artists, former students, and friends to come up with  their unique bulls-eye quilts (circular designs in a four quadrant pattern).  Obviously, when Nancy issues a challenge, people comply since what resulted was an amazing 51 full size quilt extravaganza.  The collection is so big that the Schweinfurth could only hold half!

Here's just a sampling:

Memory, Karen Querna and Roman Glass, Monica Johnstone

Tumbling, Patricia Guthrie

Frameworks, Julia Graziano and Rolling Color,  Patricia Guthrie

Marks III. Kaci Kyler

So needless to say, this ain't your grandma's bulls-eye quilt.
