First Step DetailsBack to Gallery

One of Genny’s simpler pieces for the beginner to try, First Step maintains the geometric beauty and play of color which marks a Genny Morrow piece. Light, medium and dark values of four color families are effectively used in contrast to highlight the blocks of Cashmere, Mosaic, Scotch, Diagonal Mosaic, Waffle, Web, Tent and Fran Zenker’s Magic Stitch. First Step is just that – a piece which lays the foundation for the fascinating textures and intricacy of NOVA and reflects its pure essence in the simplicity of the design!
