"Basket Weave" (Freedom Quilting Bee name: "Crazy" quilt)

This quilt suggests the complex interactions provoked between local tradition and market demand. It is pieced in a pattern featured in bee sales brochures and adheres to the pattern quite rigorously, made in consistent shades of commercially available cloth.  But it is chromally distinct: these are not typical bee shades and Young creates an optical illusion by matching colors that visually consolidate one block with the next.
