After completing the background of my abstract quilt, I was ready to tackle the primary motif. I used my sketch as the idea.
Next, I had to choose colors. I thought some red might be dynamic.
I used photo editing software to audition several different color options.
I wanted to play up the red (above) but the yellow provided so much contrast that I decided I needed to work with it in my planned focal point. Maybe this:
Or maybe I should drop the red altogether.
I decided to forge ahead with this arrangement.
Which meant auditioning red and yellow fabrics.
And eventually I got this.
Hmm. I liked it but it didn’t have the drama I expected. Did the shapes need to be wider? More experimentation would be needed.

J’aime vraiment votre démarche et je trouve le résultat très bon dans photoshop, peut être si je peux me permettre, l’intensité des tissus de couleur jaune et rouge est moins forte que dans l’édituer de photo !
What a cliff-hanger! Can’t wait to see what the experimentation yields!
I am really enjoying following your thought processes and trials & errors, and it’s helpful to see.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Janet.
