Colors

Tessellated Quilt


Yesterday I decided I liked this tessellated quilt pattern. Today I'm going to try coloring it different ways.


                      1

                      5

6


                      7

8                                                                                                        
       


So tell me, what do you think? Which of these works best and which works least? Do you have any thoughts on how to improve any of them?

    Because 4 features a different color in each block, I see it as a way to use up bits and pieces of left-over fabrics from the stash.

    Wayne,

    I like the last two. The others are too harsh, too busy, and there is too much contrast in some ..... I think my aversion to solids is showing though. Fabric prints would soften all the designs and maybe I would like diferetn ones then.

    I like contrast. Better too much than too little. Too little is like mumbling; you are never sure what's being said.

    I design using solid colors but I seldom sew that way. I like mottled fabrics. Variety in a fabric's color creates life in a quilt.

    #6 held my attention the longest. Of course the fabrics will make a difference. By the way, your book is in the Barnes & Noble in Spokane, WA. Nice to see it there!

    #6 has a lot of depth. The silver is in the foreground. Behind that is a large O formed by the light reds. Behind that are the dark reds. And way at the back behind everything is the black.
