Merchandising Strategies: Hosiery Departments during the Second World War.

This quilt was inspired by a Midjourney-generated image exploring shape, negative space, and Mid-Century Modern geometrics. Using Photoshop and Illustrator, I refined color placement, developed the pattern and templates, and mapped the quilting design. While co-designing with AI sparked bold ideas, its limitations, like poor color control and iteration overload, frustrated me. The final design reflects a layered process of digital experimentation and disciplined translation, transforming imperfect outputs into a precise, tactile composition.

This quilt grew out of leftover scraps from another quilt, "Radiant Crossing". I was arranging them for the backing when the layout caught my eye. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a backing, it was its own quilt! The bold yellow background gave me space to play with quilting, and I’m especially proud of the texture it creates: somewhere between fields and furrows and a circuit board. This quilt is a happy accident!
