escalators



I had a very hard time getting started on this challange but once I started I found it to be a lot of fun. Thank you for the stretch! This piece is 23"x 30. My colors are red, red orange, red violet with a complementary of green. I pieced, fused and quilted with varigtaed thread. All comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Hi Pat.... I like your use of 'strata' in the green and red violet, plus your flying geese, dogtooth and
the chevrons... the mix of the traditional in this freeform style. Your quilting adds some nice lines as well.
I was intrigued by the name...it certainly has movement.

Hi Pat, the movement is this piece is terrific! I love the way you used gradation in each "step" to give it more depth! The colors work really well too. Nice job!

Hi Pat, This has a good feeling of depth and movement...good job on that and also the range of colors. Using a variety of muted and pure hues makes it interesting.
