I’m working on a third broken color piece using the ginkgo leaf — yes, it’s a bit of an obsession. But I don’t mind. I never tire of the ginkgo leaf. I’m using the same pattern I used in February intentionally. The first one I made was sent to Studio Art Quilt Associates for the annual fund-raiser auction. (There are already 100+ foot-square quilts on the web site that you can check out, including mine.) I started a second broken color piece quickly. See it completed here. My goal now is to create several more using the same pattern but different colors and color intensities. A bit of a color study.
The dark solid color on the right and left look more blue-gray here than they actually are. The fabric is hand dyed in a rich teal shade. Even using the same pattern each quilt will look so different. Fascinating, really. Ahh, the drama of color.
You’re learning about my obsessions. What do you become obsessed about?
My obsession is circles, black and white circles to be exact!
I’ve seen them — they are great. Obsessions are a good thing.
I’m excited to see this latest study, Franki. This is so much fun. Keep up the good work! Hugs
I’m a little late to comment here, but I wanted to tell you that I’m delighted to learn that you love ginkgos, too. These quilts are some of my favorite designs. Color is a passion that we share as well. More colorful ginkgos, please!
It’s never too late to share your thoughts with me on my work. No need to worry, there are more ginkgos in my future.
