Held Tilt is a quilt developed through a slow, deliberate process — from the first cuts to the completed quilt top. The work centres on precision, repetition, and the careful alignment of geometric elements.
The quilt is based on the Full Tilt pattern by Papper, Sax, Sten, which provides the structural foundation for this textile interpretation. Within this framework, choices of colour, placement, and rhythm shape the overall composition.
Held Tilt explores controlled movement: a sense of tilt that is present, yet contained. The quilt currently exists at the transition point between quilt top and quilting — a pause in the making process before the next layer is added.
