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.

Jan, your flower is fantastic! All the time you spent cutting all the fused pieces was well spent. You captured the essence of the flower, the play of light and the yellow/gold background really makes it glow. Nice job. Thank you for sharing with the fffc group! Joni
