Before I've finished with one project, I like to be contemplating my next. Maybe I will do a few sketches and pin them to my design wall where I can see them every time I pass. Or sometimes I pull a few interesting fabrics from my stash and leave them out and ponder the color and pattern combinations.
Recently I picked up a beautiful art magazine to look through, one of those with lots of great eye candy. There were so many great images I decided to tear out the ones that I liked as looking at beautiful art is very inspirational for me.
Some of the images attracted me because of unusual or interesting compositions while others spoke to me because of a shape or color combination. As I assembled all of them and pinned each to my design wall I began to see a cohesive theme: color! And lots of it! So maybe the next project should have some eye-catching color to it. Either that or I have a bad case of spring fever after a long, colorless winter.
And, before I move on from the last project, here is a photo of the finished piece.
It turned out very beautifully. It's been fun to watch the progress on this. I love the color of the trees. It really enhances the piece.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy following along with your process. The final quilt is great. Look forward to the next one full of color.
