Whimsical Klimt



For this challenge I chose primary colors because I have always wanted to work in these colors and they fit in the triad theme.  One of my favorite artists that I learned about a number of years ago when I went to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City was Gustav Klimt. In the robes and dresses of his models he has these great geometric shapes, so I decided to follow that example in this piece and use these bold red, yellow and blue colors to create this design.
The quilt is pieced on the right and the rest is done with fusible applique. I have put beads on as well that were the perfect color for this quilt. I enjoyed working in these colors very much and hope to do another quilt in this color scheme.
