Impressionist quilts

by Gai Perry

Breathtaking in their nuances and truly astonishing in their evocation of impressionist paintings, Gai Perry's quilts are like no other. Inspired by nature as well as by art, she developed a piecing technique that utilizes squares placed on point and takes advantage of floral motifs and subtle fabric gradations to produce spectacular results. Here she reveals all her secrets for creating these deceptively complex-looking works of art, supporting her instructions with color photos of dozens of her beautiful quilts. --Amy Handy
