The piece is based on the number 91319, which is the 2020th prime number and coincidentally a palindrome number. Nine patch, one patch, three patch, one patch, nine patch.
The inspiration is my friend Dr. John Drost at Marshall University, who is a mathematician who loves prime numbers and palindromes. He often posts on royalty and their numeric relationships, so purple fabrics are appropriate too.as I quilted this, I thought of the Girl Scout song. “Make new friends and keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.
The left 9 patch block is quilted in silver and has silver in the grunge fabric while the right one has gold quilting and gold in the fabric. I was thinking of my old friends at Marshall University as well as new Minnesota friends, who introduced me to project quilting. The one blocks came from my secret Santa friend in Minneapolis modern Quilt Guild and I made the central of the 3 block with a hand dyed fabric from my friends at Textile Center. I did machine quilting with walking foot and five threads, one per block.
