Challenged to make a quilt design with asymmetrical elements, I thankfully found ideas everywhere. The "spark" for this particular design though was a poster image online. From the simple angle of a line within it, the design kept morphing to accommodate a mixture of more and more asymmetrical elements, in both the piecing and quilting designs. These all happily jelled together, belying some of the complexity involved and leaving a simplicity and clarity of the forms involved. Although kept to a simple colour palette, there was some argument amongst some of my quilting friends as to whether the featured colour was either a blood red or orange, as it seemed to depend on the surrounding light, hence the quilt's eventual name.
