I was exploring geometric shapes, that I had seen in some pieced traditional quilts, such as Tumbling Blocks. Of course I found it necessary to work with dark, medium and light fabrics, necessary to create this illusion of depth. I made 3D models to study for my design, and set them in front of mirrors, hence the title of the quilt.
