R.E.M.




What category could this fit in if not colorblock?

This quilt was made for the Free Spirits Art Quilt Group challege for 2010. The theme was dream. The wavy edges and wavy stitches led to the name R.E.M.

Bucket died fabric cut with wavy rotary cutter. Back ground from Carol Bryer Fallert fabric.

I thought of adding large beads to the top of each strip but have not found any that I like yet, any suggestions?

While this piece is interesting, I'm hoping that you will also do something for this challenge for us to comment on.

I like the spikey one, and if this is the one you were talking about adding beads to, I wouldn't. I don't think it would add anything to it.

But then...lay it out and take a photo of it and see what you think. To me, I like how the flat tops are just there.

I agree with Lisa; I don't think the piece needs a thing. I like the way the symmetry & repetition of the 3 large color blocks and the vertical lines contrasts with the organic feel of the differing line lengths (does that make sense?). Anyway, I still don't fully understand the "color field" defition, but I think you've created a lovely piece with this one.
