The Horizon Quilt was born from a study of the twilight sky over the Atlantic. It features over 400 hand-cut linen strips layered to create a seamless gradient of color.

Design focuses on the subtle interplay of light and texture using premium organic cotton.

STORY

To capture the fluidity of a horizon line, I employed a unique improvisation-based piecing technique that ensures no two strips are identical.
