It was my turn to pick the color scheme, so I picked one of my favorites-Triad-3 more of less equally separated colors on the color wheel.
First, I wanted to try my BigShot cutting machine and did the ovals. I liked the negative space so much that I used those shapes too. Of course, Blogger put it on it's side and I don't have the time to mess with it today. The blue violet background is a sparkly cotton commercial fabric I bought when I was in Houston. The yellow green and red orange are hand dyes. They are stitch with perle cotton.
The piece seems a bit weird to me, so I did a second one more in my style. It, too, is on it's side-not my day.
The background is a hand painted piece of cotton that I also stamped leaves on. Then I couched the fuzzy yarn and applied the silk leaves using seed and bugle beads.
That is perfect timing on your second quilt, Sandy ... everything is still mostly green outside, but those first leaves are starting to come down. Fall is in the air! Lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo! ? You ARE an over-achiever. Very well done. I especially like your use of yarns.
ReplyDeleteFun quilts, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteI like both quilts Sandy! I like the embellishments on the second one, but I'm also drawn to the simplicity of the first. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWow, two entirely different looks. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI really like the circle quilt interesting design. The leaves are beautiful. Both are amazing quilts.
ReplyDeleteI barely get one done! I love the texture on the leaf piece.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the BigShot. Great job with the challenge Sandy.
