A cream and ivory quilt with a tall cross at its center, pieced from stepped strips of slate marble, faded denim, antique gold, and deep navy. The cross builds outward in a Log Cabin logic, each strip stepping back from the one before, so the figure reads like it's emerging from the background rather than sitting on top of it. The marbled gray fabric does the heavy work, all stormy clouds and pale veining, while the navy holds the shape steady and the gold warms the whole thing through. The real story, though, is in the quilting. Across the cream field, angels in flight have been stitched edge to edge, their wings sweeping into one another in long, curving lines that catch the light only when you tilt the quilt just so. Cream thread keeps the motif quiet, a whisper across the surface, so the angels appear and disappear as you move.
