I began to be very worried that, once again, I would not have time to complete the challenge I hosted. But here we go. This photograph does not represent the actual colors very well. It was interesting to work through this process - the study, the planning, the reality check about what you can actually accomplish in a week - both more and less than I thought. After many iterations of oh so wonderful plans, I decided to work with some handdyes I created in October. There are actually six fabrics from a two color gradation from fuschia to yellow with the addition of the high contrast black. I like the decisions I made about the placement of colors. I fear that it is a boring piece even though it is what I was after and I actually like it - the simplicity, the colors, the contrast.
Any comments or suggestions for improvement are very welcome.
Thanks in advance for your comments, critique!
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this quilt as well as the colors. It's a very pleasing combination of colors. The black does its job of enhancing the pink.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors Betty. I like the simplicity of the lines and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt flows very well and of course I appreciate the organic feel of it. It is very nice when something comes together!
ReplyDeleteGreat job in dyeing such a nice gradation. Soothing colors and a very cheery composition. Thanks for the great challenge. I know I certainly learned from it.
ReplyDeleteThese are great colors Betty... and the simplicity is great! As you know, I cannot critique... but I am wondering what it would be like in a vertical orientation?
ReplyDeleteA great challenge!!
Thanks for the challenge Betty. I enjoyed this. Your pinks are the deep, luscious shades of pink I love. They are truly the subject. Will you frame this? I am guessing this will really come to life for you when you have it hanging in a great spot.
ReplyDeleteThis piece looks simple, but it rewards spending a little time looking at it. I like the change in texture with the solid stripe in the middle framed by the black and contrasting with the more or less textured fabric above and below. This was a great challenge, by the way.
