Marilyn Ball seems to applique and do piecework with equal ability. She made "Going South", the quilt I posted yesterday, and she also piece this wonderful traditional "Thousand Pyramids". 
It is a much more difficult piecing job that one would think. All those bias edges are easily stretched, so the piecer must be careful when sewing them by hand or by machine. She has achieved a great classic coloration.
Great fun for a grandmother to receive these exuberant images to make into a quilt.
The addition of Josey's image is an inspired touch.
A lovely traditional applique with a nice choice of fabrics.
