Originals

I thought that maybe I should also post pictures of the original photo of the gladiolus and the contour drawing that I made from the photo before making the analogous picture seen below. I chose to do the flower in the top center of the photo.

Analogous Color Quilt

The latest step in my book study was to make an analogous color quilt. It took me two hours last night to cut out and fuse all the pieces together into the 8 1/2" x 11" size you see here. I don't know when I'll get it quilted but I don't think it turned out too badly? These are colors I don't often use, although they're in my stash for when I do, so a challenge for me. The photo was of a magenta gladiolus I grew a few years ago. Of course the background was green then but red, orange, and yellow are the analogous colors I chose and in the end the yellow and orange blended fabric worked best.
