How interesting that two quilts in QN '15, taking almost the identical approach, were both from
German-speaking Europe.

Beatrice Lanter, hinten VII, orange (detail below)
Not sure this technique is as mind-boggling as it was twenty years ago, but still an interesting twist on the traditional pieced quilt. Both artists are members of the obsessive-compulsive school of quiltmaking, with their individual pieces less than an inch across, and you have to admire the concentration it took to complete these rather large quilts.
I'll be a party-pooper and say that I might like to see what the other side of these quilts look like. Also I'm sorry I didn't illegally peek at the back to see how these were quilted.
