I completed the design work on the
Orange Peel Quilt
I tried a scrappy placement of the peels
and it wasn't working...
I tried grouping the peels by color family
and that works...
Purple Peels in the top left area...
Pink Peels below the purple...
Light Blue Peels top right area...
Dark Blue Peels bottom right corner...
Red Peels bottom left...
I put the flying geese
with their color family as well...
For a busy quilt, this arrangement is much
calmer on the eyes...
Yes, this is the design I am going with...
Now, to piece the blocks together
and pick out a border fabric......hmmm.
More To Come !

Oh gosh, that's so beautiful! The color gradation is really calming.

You did a lovely job on those blocks. Looking forward to seeing it quilted and bound! Ready for spring and summer.
ReplyDeleteThank You Pamela !

Yes! This arrangement is beautiful. Perhaps the border will end up as not one fabric, but follow the color families of the interior, too! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy.....I think you have something there with the border color following the interior colors around the quilt.....genius!
DeleteThanks so very much,
LuAnn
I just love how you took a scrappy quilt and the color just flows and guides the eye around the quilt rather than a chaos of color everywhere...........very nice. I will have to play with this idea on some future quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your always lovely comments.

That is a really lovely quilt. I too agree the arrangement is very pleasing with the colors grouped together and your flying geese make it so interesting to look at. Will be waiting to see what you come up with for the borders and how you quilt it. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy!
