Description:
This unusual six-sided geometric was adapted from a southwestern suncatcher design. It is set up with a counted outline to assure that the patterns fit the same within matching shapes. Rings of yellow, tangerine and red composite patterns repeat to form a dramatic sunset background for the formation of black ultrasuede duck silhouettes that add a naturalistic touch to the scene. A special fused technique is used to cut out the ducks to insure that they appear as "cookie cutter" shapes.

The background area is a silk blackwork pattern with Edmar rayon "stars" to suggest an evening atmosphere. A third filling that uses a custom blended metallic of red, black and gold is also used to create further patterning. Other novelty threads used in the intricate composite patterns of the sun areas include Petite Very Velvet, Sparkle Rays, Accentuate metallic, plus Gentle Arts and Leah's overdyed cotton threads along with staples of pearl cotton and six different Kreinik metallics.
