Tweaking the traditional quilt and weaving designs of Japan and America. 

I used small bits of Japanese fabrics. They look like they are placed by chance. But no, I learned randomness in design is never random. 

American fabric printed to look like already made traditional quilts are torn apart loosing their quilt designs only to be woven into a traditional woven design, the Madras plaid. Below are pictures of the fabrics I tore into 1" widths. They lost all of their individual designs but kept their colors in the madras plaid weave.
