The inspiration came from reading "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. In Arthurian legend, the Lady of the Lake is the ruler of the magical island of Avalon.
I think I already had the background fabric, which looks like pebbles seen through blue water. The other fabrics are nature-inspired prints — stars, trees, clouds and sky, a couple of florals.
When I laid out the blocks, I inverted every other one, so the light and dark triangles in adjacent blocks would touch, rather than light against dark. I liked the way it reminded me of sunlight reflecting off ripples of water.
For the large corner triangles, I created an original feather design (feathers have always been my favorite quilting motif) which I hand quilted.
