Fibonacci Curve
I created this piece inspired by the discovery that Fibonacci made; that most creations of nature have this curve intrinsic to their construction. The multiples are created by adding the length of the last 2 dimensions together for the next. An obvious reference is a spiral of a sea shell, but if you look closely, you can find evidence of this design very frequently in the natural world.Once I created the blocks the notion of a bird on top of a head came to me (the mind is a wondrous thing!) and thus "BirdBrain" was birthed. This quilt is 39" wide by 24 " tall.

| detail of the brain created with hand embroidery and embellished with sparkly beads, because; despite feeling like a bird brain most of the time, my brain is always firing with new ideas! |
