This quilt is based on the Surrealist artist’s game, Exquisite Corpse, where each artist creates part of the composition and hides their work except for a connector point. The piece is passed to other artists who each add to the composition without knowing what the other artists have completed. For this quilt, I gave each block contributor the 1” location to the connector points for each 9” block, a specific connector color and their choice of any shade of turquoise and white. Each contributor designed their own block using the piecing technique of their choice and designed the body and connector without others knowing what each created. After receiving the block, they were connected using a variegated color movement from the top to bottom of the quilt. This piece is machine quilted and contains mostly cotton fabrics and wool batting.
