I got all excited and picked a great collection of prints. But then I remembered that this is also an art challenge. So I changed gears but because I am working on a colour workshop I decided to do up the more traditional quilt to encourage our newer beginner quilters. Then I mixed things up colour wise for the art quilt to encourage shades and tints as options.

White light contains all the colours but in fabric white is the absence of colour. I chose a very light Bali with hints of colours. Then I chose a greyed black. Black in nature is the absence of light but in dyes it is the combination of colours. It also had a little streak of yellow that I utilized. I had no true red so I went with a blend of a dull red and a dull yellow. I very much prefer to work asymmetrically. I was going to do circles but one section reminded me somewhat of a mountain so I rough cut that, added another. The smaller yellow could be a more distant mountain or perhaps a sun. I'm not sure about raw edge applique so I did one seam 'according to the book' and then I left the rest of the seams exposed. I left raw edges for the applique also.

I found a backing which is actually the challenge colours! Another example of how changing the proportions affects things.
I am busy MQing the little table place mat. I'll post it tomorrow *after* it is finished. ;)
I am so glad to be back playing in the Coop and Saucer Playroom. I guess I mean working!!!

What fun!
Great job with these colors. The backing fabric is perfectly you my dear. Happy MQing...
I can't believe how long it's been since I've been here. My swaps and the holiday has kept me away from all my friends. Now I am back and boy do I have a lot to catch up on. Red and yellow are two of my favorite color combinations. Add black and you have my full attention.
