"Spirolateral_{6}^{1,3,4} ," by Mary Candace Williams. Quilt copyright 2005 Mary Candace Williams; design is copyright Robert Krawczyk; photograph by Robert Fathauer.The challenge of doing a quilt that has only rotational symmetry and uncommon angles lies in a technique called partial seaming. The printed fabric has a lot of pursuit curves overlaide on top of one another and shows a lot of contrast with the black of the spirolateral.

"Tumbling Escher," by Mary Candace Williams. Quilt copyright 2006 By Mary Candace Williams; photograph by Annette Emerson.If you look at the quilt at a perpendicular angle you have a traditional diamond tessellation known as Tumbling Block. From the side, however, it rises up and back into the quilt; thus a nod to Escher's "Reptiles" in which the drawn lizard rises up and out and back into the drawing board. --- Mary Candace Williams
