Sunset Sail


Today is the reveal for the  challenge "split complementary". Since it is a travel day for me and I'm posting from the airport, this will be fairly short.
I chose to work with a 5 color split with turquoise as my main color and red, orange-red, orange, yellow-orange, and orange-yellow as my complements. I also added black and white.
Sunset Sail  (15"x16")
I used my own hand dyed cottons for the water and sky, white organza for the sun,  pale turquoise lame for the sails, and solid black cotton for the boat hulls.  I used Quilters Dream wool batting and Superior "Lava"  threads in the sky and water and metallic silver in the sun.


I have to run, as my plane is boarding...but be sure you check the  fabulous pieces from  the other artists.
