Aquamarine Ambience

was inspired by the colors

of the sea as they change with the water's depth; one color merges

into another as the light reflects off the water, and shadows seem

to hover just above its surface. So too do the fabrics, threads and

embroidery of this quilt all seem to merge. The colors, texture and luster of

the fabrics and threads seem to glisten and shimmer to create a special

ambience that an aquamarine sea evokes for so many of us:

those whose souls find peace in the sights, sounds and smell of the ocean.

As each wave brings its own unique form, movement and color,

so top does each block of Simon's quilt.
