Kupferwind – Copper wind
This wall quilt was created as part of the “Almost-Improv Inspiration Workshop” with Peter Byrne (Peter’s Quilts – Quilter/Designer/Teacher). The course taught a variety of modern quilting techniques, ranging from free, intuitive work to precise execution. These included creating your own patterns with freezer paper, free-motion cutting curves, glue basting for clean seams, incorporating narrow, curved lines, and big stitch hand quilting.
My quilt combines all these elements in a harmonious composition of movement, structure, and color. Curved lines and gentle curves meet clear, architectural forms—an exciting interplay between control and chance.
The color palette of cool turquoise and petrol tones, accentuated by warm copper lines, is reminiscent of wind, water, and light reflections on metallic surfaces. The linear quilting emphasizes the dynamism of the shapes and reinforces the impression of flow and movement.
