The Colour of Dust

This quilt was inspired by a science story. Scientists are studying the colours of interplanetary dust. From this analysis they can tell the composition of the planets. I doubt however the colours of the dust are quite as bright as the colours in this quilt.

This work also reflects a very old quilt design called 'Chinese coins'.

Japanese cotton, commercial cottons and batting have been used to create this quilt. It is tied rather than quilted. The size is 38" x 53".
