“Do
you know the terror of he who falls asleep? To the very toes he is terrified,
because the ground gives way under him, and the dream begins.” -Friedrich
Nietzsche-
How
many times did you fall in your dreams? You can roughly fall and wake up
jumping in your bed or you can glide in a low fall while falling asleep, you
can fall for just few inches or you can take a long long flight... what about
you? How do you fall in your dreams? And how deep are they?
Make
me know through a quilt. Tell me not your dreams but how deep they are, show me
the moment you fall asleep.
You
can make an abstract or pictorial quilt, choose the style that best fits you,
but experiment with the “golden ratio”
rule to compose your quilt.

Golden Ratio Quilts:
Searching
with Google for “golden ratio quilt” or “golden mean quilt” or “fibonacci
quilt” you will find lot of quilts that depicts the classic Golden Swirl, and a
few quilts with a totally different subject that are composed using the Golden
Ratio (in its swirl, rectangular or triangular representation or the Fibonacci
series that generates it) as a way to divide the space and manage the number,
position and dimension of the objects.
