Quilt Pattern Type

All of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section.

QUILT starts with the base colors in gradated blends, arranged into a simple quilt block, usually with a specific motif in the center (star or tree, for instance). The block is reduced and recombined to make a square cane with 16 blocks on its face.
