I've taken to making a photographic record of the evolution of the concept and the closing in on the final design. I give credit to Nancy Crow for that idea. It's a way I can get perspective on how the idea looks at a bit of a distance, condensed by the photograph.
This idea for my quilt began a long time ago when I saw some one else developing a quilt with triangles and I thought it looked like fun. I made several starts & abandoned it several times....maybe I can't do this?...
And then, one day, going through stuff I came upon those beginnings. It's time to try again, I said. This idea still intrigues me.
So I settled on The Key of Green, and plowed ahead.
So some things needed to be decided: am I going to 'allow' sideways triangles or inverted [point down] ones? I play around with that idea.
Finally I settled on layout. Basting, then machine quilting begins.
Machine quilting is not my comfortable zone yet. I regretted the thread & may start over. I found the quilting lines too intrusive!!
And then, up on a wall....
One of the things that really interests me are the rectangles of density created by color choices. Look lower right & there's one there.
I'm using flash and there are all kinds of problems with it!
What? Another learning zone?
That's it for now.
I guess I'm calling it Triangles in the Key of Green.
