Triangle Modern Quilt Guild Cary, North Carolina, United States
Rails II is part of a series that is inspired by the Neuostheim Railway junction. The artist and her husband lived in Mannheim, Germany and travelled through this junction almost every day. As she travelled, she thought about the number of trains and people who have also travelled through, where were they going, what connections were made, what history has this junction seen. She explored these thoughts (paths) in making these strips connect and move away from each other. This quilt was both machine and hand quilted. The hand quilting used embroidery cross-stitch matched to the color of the fabric. The cross-stitch continues with the railway theme representing the universal road sign of a railway.
