Very interesting. Encourages me to make a piece like this - just quilting. <br /><br />Enjoy the south!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443701650151369396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021283387517994326.post-17632783571560749602013-03-07T16:46:05.582-08:002013-03-07T16:46:05.582-08:00This is a very interesting study.

It's a perfect example of what you said a few days ago, that the quilting trumps it all.<br /><br />Usually colors do their thing, receding, coming forward, taking over, etc. Not here. It's plain to see that if the stitching didn't cover the whole piece, that the color would not look so unified at all.<br /><br />The areas with the darker stitches both stand out as more noticeable and recede a bit back of the others because they are darker. That kind of blows my mind a little. <br /><br />I love how you are able to make a single piece of fabric look pieced with the use of line and with your quilting within those lines. It's a great example of the power of line, and one way to use it in fiber art.<br /><br />Your color choice of batting makes it seem like some of the fabric on top of it is translucent- because that same color peeps through a lot of the dyed piece. <br /><br />mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.com
