I collected cloth from my stash to piece together for a small quilt. Focusing on yellow because I’ve been feeling much more optimistic on sunny days. Then I had to add some purple, magenta and brown to take advantage of my dyed fabric stash from workshops with Suzanne Grosjean. The base is a square of old stained black-and-white-checked tablecloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First photo shows a very rough layout to judge the mix of colors and whether I had enough to cover the base. I added some striped fabrics and some eco-printed silk broadcloth strips along the edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been thinking of the color scheme as “warm”\u009d but there’s a decidedly cool cast in this photo. Maybe it’s the late afternoon light. I do find it fascinating that there is such a concept as “cool yellow”\u009d in color theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second photo was taken after ripping the fabric into two basic widths to prepare for piecing. This was taken during morning light and shows the colors a little more realistically. I’m looking forward to stitching these strips together to make a boro-inspired quilt top, following Jude’s spiritcloth<\/a> example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
