An early Cynthia Corbin quilt 05-01-16

"Absolutes"  Cynthia Corbin  1994  35"W x 56"L
Machine pieced and quilted.
 
I met Cynthia Corbin at Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar.  We were in a couple of Ruth McDowell classes together in the early 1990s.  I admired her work then and still do today, but have never added another of her quilts to the Collection. I believe this was started in one of Ruth's Symmetry classes and the "border" was added after Cynthia was home in her studio.  I love the addition of brown in the border and those swirling "ribbons" pop out the center panel and add a lot of motion to the composition.
Cynthia lives in the Seattle area.
