New Quilt Challenge


      My quilt guild is offering a quilting challenge.  We were to pick a photo, either from a calendar or something else that appealed to us. After picking a photo we are then challenged to make a quilt using the colors from the photo.  We aren't to reproduce the photo but to simply extract the color and come up with a quilt.  The process has been fun, so far.  




My Photo Choice
My First Fabric Choices
My Second Set of Fabric Choices
after Art Focus Quilt group meeting and
after adding salmon colors.
The photo is intentionally
turned upside down

My next set of fabrics- 
these are all fat quarters,
fused and ready to go




The raspberry and salmon with white removed.  I then greyed the photo so see the contrast and am pleased with the results so far. 

I'm considering putting the raspberry back in the mix!  Thoughts?

Stay tuned for updates as I move along the creative process.
