I am trying to get back to posting a quilt from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection each Sunday evening. I could show a different quilt for about six years since there are now 370+ pieces in the Collection. The post below is from 09-13-15 and I still enjoy this quilt as much as I did the first time I saw it almost two decades ago. The art quilt group I belong to is working on an exhibit titled "Balance", my piece won't look anything like this, but I can't help but think of this one as I develop ideas. I do so admire Ann's work and her fabulous hand dyed fabrics.

Sometimes I see a quilt that just won't leave me alone. This is one of them. I had looked at this quilt on Ann Johnston's website for a number of years, until I finally had to buy it in 2013. There are several things that thrill me. The color, of course, Ann is a master dyer. The black and white applique, and the tension created by the balancing "chairs" create a quilt that I can look at again and again.
