Prayers For Compassion CQA Challenge: Rituals 2000 24"h x 20"w SOLD For the Contemporary QuiltArt Association Rituals Challenge I received a piece of silk with six identical woven-in Buddha motifs. I cut it up and re-assembled it into nine kaleidoscopic hexagons. In Buddhism prayer wheels are used to spread spiritual blessings and well being. There are several traditional Japanese hexagonal symbols for prayer wheels as well, so I incorporated one of them into the quilting design. Silk challenge fabrics from Warren and Nancy Brakensiek, other silks from Thailand, rayon threads, vintage buttons. Machine pieced, appliqued and quilted.
