DECOration |
Once again my ideas exceeded my skills. I quickly had to give up on the curved piecing for the background and fall back on fusing, but as it turned out most of the background seams were covered anyway. After creating the two-tone background I added decoration using fountain, waterfall and zigzag motifs. As usual, I still need to add quilting, but I wanted to be on time. It is 10 " x 17"
Since it's so relevant to the challenge, I hope it's okay to also share my previous Art Deco quilt, "Beacon in the Darkness" which I made for a show here in my hometown -the theme was local buildings created by the WPA. (A depression era building program).
I look forward to any and all comments and suggestions.

I think this design really speaks to art deco. The lines are crisp and geometric, while the complementary color scheme is perfect. Good job!
your use of such high intensity colors reeks art deco. I love your "fountain".
The blue and orange really pulls from the posters from the Art Deco period. Love the design...both of your pieces in fact! Nice work

Very striking composition. The fountain really stands out against the pieced background. Will be interesting to see how you quilt it.
I really like your bold choice of colors and the subtle pieced background is the perfect backdrop for all of the drama of this piece. It is well balanced and once the quilting is added, I am sure that it will be very dynamic.
