Circadian Rhythm

Circadian Rhythm, which offers crisp lines and satisfying symmetry, is a visual meditation on the human and oceanic system that is a shared pulse between human life and the ocean's tide. This thoughtfully designed paper-pieced journey finishes at 60” x 60” and welcomes both beginners and seasoned quilters into its flow.

At its core lies a striking heart, a simple yet powerful image, designed to help new paper piecers build foundational skills. As quilters progress beyond the heart, they gain confidence in the rhythm of the technique which echoes the rhythm of life itself. The dynamic shapes and layered geometry of the full design challenge and delight quilters of all levels, while inviting sharp precision and creative interpretation.

Whether you're drawn to its symbolism or its elegant geometry, Circadian Rhythm reveals a profound connection between our biology and the planet’s rhythms.  It serves as a reminder that we are not separate from the world around us, but we are deeply woven into its cadence. Circadian Rhythm invites all to a meaningful and empowering quilting experience, one heartbeat at a time.
