"Triplet" Patricia Klem 1998 24"W x 28"L
Every time I look at this quilt I try to see what it is about it that makes me like it so much. Shape? Piecing? Color? Quilting? It is all the above! I believe that the bottom third is the key - the black/yellow/white with the red "arm" that reaches around the bottom coming to a point. This bottom third is a base for the top two thirds and supports the total design. At least, that is what I see.
I purchased this directly from Patricia Klem in August 1998. Her statement reads:
"This quilt was based on the rhomboid shape which was repeated in several variations. Machine pieced and machine quilted. Cotton fabrics,, cotton batting, cotton and metallic thread."

I see a lot of repetition in 3's. # inner squares, 3 framing squares, 3 repetitions of red. the red at the top leads your eye away and upward preventing a boxed in feeling. The colors are playful yet not overwhelming or garish. nicely done!
