The Elevated Abstractions: Three Sisters Quilt
The Elevated Abstractions Three Sisters Quilt is the third pattern in Violet’s Elevated Abstractions series of quilt patterns that feature iconic natural landscapes transformed into abstract and modern quilt designs. Sisters, Oregon is home to the bucket-list quilt show, Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. The Three Sisters quilt is Violet’s interpretation of the Three Sisters mountain range from the southwest corner of town.
The entire quilt is foundation paper pieced with Violet Craft's signature Abstractions foundation paper piecing technique and comes together in sections to one large scale block measuring 48” wide x 18” high.
“The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show has been a special place for me for years. My sewing circle began going to Sisters for a week long sewing getaway in 2012. Many of my fabric designs and inspiration come from this majestic part of Oregon. I wanted to create a special quilt pattern for this special place.” ~Violet
Like other quilts in Violet’s Abstractions series’, this design encourages quilters to experiment with color choices and fabric placement, allowing for a personalized interpretation of the iconic landmark in day or night.
