“Beet Salad” Complete

Whew! After LOTS of rearranging and trial and error, I’ve finally finished this piece. And I’m quite happy with it.

The finished piece is 36″ x 26″. It’s available for $695.

The yellow in this detail shot looks a little yellow-green, but it will show you the circular quilting pattern, done both on the machine  and  by  hand.

I think it’s well named, don’t you?

P.S. See recent posts about how I dyed the fabric for this, and in-progress construction photos.

      Hi Patricia, you hit the nail on the head. I got the idea from a market photo. Oh, the colors!

      Yep, Barbara, it was the colors that inspired me. This quilt is all about color. (Well, and value, and composition.)

    I really like it – colors, design, balance, stitching

      Thanks so much, Michele. The balance and design took a bit of trial and error. (Thanks for noticing the results!)

    Really neat piece, Ellen, and I LOVE its name.

      Thanks, Martha! (Maybe I’ll enter it into the “Gastronomy” exhibit.)

    You’ve certainly achieved a high energy piece with the color and circular motifs…..hurrah!!!

      Thanks, Mary. The color was fun. The circles were a little challenging, since they were the only shape I had to work with.
