a series of quilt designs, based on genetic code. a square, bisected into a light & dark triangle, is rotated in 4 orientations to resemble the letters C, G, A & T, the 4 DNA bases. these blocks are then placed in sequences determined by the base sequence, so one can read the genetic code by looking at the quilt. the color and fabric choices influence the overall design.
