Transparency is a hot trend in quilting! The challenge is to choose opaque fabrics to create the illusion of transparency. The American Patchwork and Quilting Transparency Challenge produced some incredible quilts by artists around the world. We hope you enjoy our photos!

Continuity of Radiance by Svetlana Silver (Omsk, Omskaya oblast, Russian Federation) @svetoch.silver
This quilt invites us to consider how just a few fabrics were used to convey transparency! Continuity of Radiance is "an attempt to convey the impact of an object that includes hypnotic glow, rotation, transparency and the endless cycle of ending and beginning of everything."
The quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted on a frame (longarm). Straight line "matchstick" quilting in green thread creates a subtle texture in the background.
