Here's a stunning quilt made from triangles within triangles, creating the impression of pyramids! The title of the quilt - Trichotomy - means "division into three parts or elements". We admire the stunning use of color along with the precision piecing. (Scroll down for more information on triangle quilts.)

Trichotomy by Barbara Oliver Hartman (Texas) @barbaraoliverhartman
Barbara Oliver Hartman says, "A quilt I started a very long time ago was resurrected and I am so pleased with how it turned out. Not sure why I put it away. I love the hand dyed fabrics, mostly Cherrywood, and how the lights and darks played so well together. This makes me happy."
Trichotomy was machine quilted in wavy lines on a domestic machine, echosing the diamond shapes while softening the geometric design.
Throughout quilting history, the use of triangles to create a tessellation is called "Thousand Pyramids". We recently updated our Free Pattern Day for Thousand Pyramids quilts; CLICK HERE for the latest free patterns!
