Turning Leftovers Into a Meal
After making Potager Garden, I had quite a few scraps left over, so I decided to use them to make a small quilt. This is what I had to work with.
I began to move them around to see how they might fit together. I didn’t like this first version, though. I thought it needed more yellow, if I could find some in my stash.
Plus, the colors in the first version (above) were pretty evenly scattered about. That works for wallpaper, but not always for art. I remembered what I had recently learned about massing a color and switched things to this.
Much better! And I didn’t change it much after that.
This is the finished quilt, I Hope You Like Peppers.
Here’s a detail shot.

Well done!
Thanks, Mary. I’ve been trying to avoid “wallpaper” compositions lately, and to mass color for emphasis. It seems to work well.
