After studying all the links, I remembered that I had some blocks that I had created in a class taught by Scott Murkins on strata quilting. I felt that these blocks met many of the requirements of Color Fields. I saw some samples that were divided into squares, and I felt this quilt needed that. I tried to arrange the blocks so that colors were grouped together to give a feeling that the colors are flowing across the piece and running off the edge. Not being an art major, I'm not sure if my piece qualifies as a typical Color Field quilt, but I certainly did learn about a new type of art that I had never studied before, and it broadened my horizons in quilting. Thank you, Betty, for the great challenge and I applaud all the quilters who have already submitted their beautiful works of art.

I think your traditional 9 patch is anything but traditional, I like that you took this concept and brought it back to the traditional quilting.
This is very interesting. I think you met your objective of having the colors flow through the piece and feel like they are going off the edge. I think each one of the grids could be called color field standing on its own, but when put in to the grid, the label no longer applies. I am really happy you chose to do this work. It offers lots of possibilities. Terrific job!
This quilt is captivating with it's fluid motion and vivid colors. It really brightens up a dull winter day.
What a great way to use "orphan" blocks!! Very pleasing quilt with great color and textures in the fabric. Interesting use of non traditional blocks in a tradional setting. Very Cheery quilt.
I love the movement and flow of this piece. And the bright cheery colors.
Yeah... I know the grid doesn't count in Color Field... so I am wondering [and I know it is too late].. if you had just sewn them together without the grid. The colors are fantastic.. and flow like lava. You must be so pleased!
