Direction Optional - Stephanie Ruyle

Inspiration: The group prompt for this quilt was “Linear,” and the collaboration was a sheer celebration of the line in all forms, curved or straight, interpreted by ten individuals. the limited color palette emphasized the geometry, and the pops of color allow the viewer’s eyes to travel over the quilt from point to point.
