I actually finished this quilt around Thanksgiving, but I didn&#8217;t get around to sewing a hanging sleeve onto the back until a couple of weeks ago &#8212; so I couldn&#8217;t hang it up and take a photo until recently. But I got distracted with other projects, including some not-so-sabbatical-related projects. But now it is done, and photographed and posted.<\/p>\n<p>I already <a title=\"Big, colorful quilt with no name\" href=\"http:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/2012\/11\/03\/big-colorful-quilt-with-no-name\/\">blogged about this quilt<\/a> while I was working on it, so just a brief update here. After my first blog post on this quilt,<a href=\"http:\/\/aleecia.com\"> Aleecia McDonald<\/a> pointed me towards <a href=\"http:\/\/wtfarthistory.com\/post\/17318660163\/gerhard-richter-gothic-pixels\">Gerhard Richter&#8217;s Cologne Cathedral<\/a> stained glass windows. My quilt takes a very similar approach to Richter &#8212; similar sized squares, similar colors. But besides the difference in medium (glass vs. fabric), the algorithm for selecting colors is rather different. Richter used a computer program to execute an algorithm designed to produce something that would resemble random static. My algorithm was less precise, and just executed in my head. My goal was to create something more like a color gradient with random variations. Nonetheless, these pieces strike me as rather similar. I love the scale of Richter&#8217;s windows as well as the use of glass as a medium.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it&#8230; Big Bright Pixels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bigbright.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-216\" title=\"Big Bright Pixels quilt 64x64&quot;\" src=\"http:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bigbright-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bigbright-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bigbright-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lorrie.cranor.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bigbright.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is long over due.
