handcrafted pillows - The wide hem border contains still more Buddhist references: waves for the cosmos, coral branches signifying riches, a mountain at the center back for the earth, flanked by castanets symbolizing good fortune. The cape not only depicts emblems of virtue but also partakes of their power. In donning such a robe, the imperial person became invested with power in a complex interaction of magic, ritual, authority, and responsibility. An acient and wide spread art form, quilting was first a utilitarian act. As a cooperative task, it gave women in small communities a respite from their frequently solitary labors. Their quilts constitute a valued legacy to the present, and in recent years the American quilt has been sought by enthusiasts and museums that recognize the aesthetic merits of its complex geometric patterns and arresting colors. This variant of the Log Cabin pattern quilt, with its strips set diagonally across the corners of each center square, ends angled and lapped, sets up a lively visual counterpoint. The traditional alternation of light and dark segments in each component square creates spiny pineapple shapes. They advance and retreat, sometimes setting up a visual illusion of wildly spinning, spiky wheels. The center squares of Log Cabin blocks are traditionally red, although other colors are not uncommon. Here they are a mosaic of red, blue, and black triangles. The Log Cabin square is an extremely versatile quilt-building unit with a pleasing architectural strength.
