Color study 1: another note

Caz mentioned that the second photo worked better for her for illustrating the color principles, and that she ended up distracted by the shapes in the first “front” photo in my previous post. It occured to me that I should explain what I’m hoping to do with the pieces.

In writing or in a lecture, I would show the back “color block / color ‘principle'” side first…the main, solid, color blocks. Then I’d turn the quilt over to show what it would look like in a contemporary style quilt. A lot of times, folks can’t make the visual translation from solid color blocks (in paint or cloth) to cloth in a quilt. This is the only piece where I used the solid fabrics on the “front” / quilt side; in all the others I used batiks with some solids….I’ll post Monochromatic tonight, and maybe that will help illustrate where I’m going? Thanks for the tip, Caz…it helps me know how to explain things.
