Wikipedia says

Born in Frenchton, West Virginia in 1922, Harper's upbringing on his family farm influenced his work to his last days. He left his farm home to study art at the Art Academy of Cincinnati

Layer Cake patterns


























This pattern uses Fig Tree Quilts fabric called Fig and Plum It is a great pattern for a layer cake.
.





























This uses Gypsy Rose another Fig Tree fabric range.


What is a layer cake,?
It is 40 squares of fabric of a particular range.
The squares are 10 inches by 10inches,and can be cut in a number of ways.
The two quilts above use the layer cake square cut into 4 x 5 inch squares
It is a good way to buy a whole range of fabrics,and use them together.
The only downside if that often patterns only use a sub-set of the range and in this case you will need a few fat quarters to complete the pattern.
