Vivika DeNegre Art Quilts: Blogger's Quilt Festival

Blogger's Quilt Festival

This is one of my favorite quilts, made last year as part of a triptych hung in a local gallery. Barbara Schulman Kerwin of Chroma Gallery made a similar piece in glass, and we hung them together in her gallery as a "call and response" to each other's work. When I hang it with its sisters, the three complete a statement about color, value, and tempo. The entire triptych is called Chroma Bars.
