Why did I add the green in the middle?
Well, one reason is that I've learned it's good to have a place in your quilt for the eyes to stop and focus, something not overwhelming, but a small pop.
I may have intended in the beginning to add more greens to the whole piece.
Or maybe I had no reason, except that the color was blended in with the blues and I liked it.
My helper
Fallingwater
What I noticed about Fallingwater is the sweep of the eye. You look up and center, with the chimneys, then your eyes sweep right, down and left.
I attempted to do the same with the movement in the quilt
Center up, right, down, left
I loved putting together this quilt, I had the idea in mind for many months before I could start, and once I did start not everything went according to my plan. The beauty of inspiration and improv is that you can change your plans along the way and make something even more beautiful than what you originally imagined.
Thank you for following along on my process of bringing to life
