Ultraviolet is built from simple shapes, but the effect is anything but. By rotating blocks, the quilt creates a dimensional illusion—an angular flow of color that seems to shift and glow across the surface. The center strips do the heavy lifting here: vibrant pinks, framed in deep blues and purples. It’s subtle, but it adds just enough texture to make you look twice.
This quilt started as an experiment in layout and light—how far could you push contrast and repetition to create depth? The result is a modern, high-impact design with a clear rhythm and a lot of flexibility. Once the blocks are built, the top comes together easily with thoughtful seam pressing and block rotation. Whether you stick to the original palette or try something entirely your own, Ultraviolet delivers visual drama with surprisingly simple construction.
