Pyrotechnics

This wall hanging was made under the direction of master quilter Fran Kordek in 2005 at a week-long workshop at the Augusta Heritage Center . The Augusta Heritage Center is a summer program hosted at Davis and Elkins College in the mountains of Elkins, West Virginia.

The pattern for this project is Pyrotechnics (Farmer’s Fancy), a traditional quilt design from the West Virginia Heritage Quilt Search project. Combining African as well as other batik prints rather than the prints traditionally used in country quilting, this machine pieced wall hanging takes on a rather untraditional look. The inner circle of equilateral triangles has 40 pieces. The middle circle of triangles has 48 pieces, and the outer circle has 56 equilateral triangles. The piece is edged with prairie points. They mirror the triangular theme in the quilt design.

Finished Dimensions: 28” X 28”
