Quilts and Perspective

Triangles, squares, and circles
Stitched in place to form
Patterns of a quilted spread
In colors bright and warm.

Bound together side by side
Larger shapes are made,
As triangles make a diamond
And squares become a frame.










Lines and curves enhance design
And flow along the seams.
Lights and darks become a guide
Revealing larger themes.

And when its done, a map is spread
With boundaries quite clear
Between the contrasts and the prints
Our eye is made to steer.

We see the plan: a united whole--
The vision becomes quite plain.
Together they are something more,
But distance shows our aim.
