This site showcases the art quilts created by Marcia Birken of Rochester, NY. Unlike traditional art that uses paint, ink, or clay to express an idea, art quilts use textiles, thread and embellishments to articulate a theme. The quilts presented here are based on mathematical patterns or on photographs Marcia has taken around the world.
