\"KatherineJonesFacets_700\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For this week’s Creative Nudge, I am going to travel back in time a little bit, to the QuiltCon Modern Quilt<\/a> gathering in February of this year.<\/p>\n

In the center of this collage, I am featuring Katherine Jones’ quilt “Facets”, made with a 45 degree triangle and her collection of solid gray fabrics<\/a>. Katherine is from Tasmania, Australia…and is in the Tasmanian Modern Quilt Guild!<\/p>\n

Katherine was inspired by the idea of light through an emerald cut stone. The layout was designed in CAD, but the fabric (and value) choices were made as she pieced.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent example of how *Value* can really make the piece! The brilliant juxtaposition of lights, darks and midtones, creates an illusion of translucent three-dimensional facets. She also plays with Cool Grays vs. Warm Grays<\/a>, for further dimension and depth.<\/p>\n

I’ve added some Gray<\/a> and Charcoal fabrics<\/a>, with some Ombre jeweltones as a backdrop<\/a>. The trend of Ombre shading is going to continue strongly this year. I don’t know about you, but I am not tired of Ombre gradations yet!<\/p>\n

I hope this collage inspires you to play with Grays, Values, and Ombre pops of COLOR.<\/p>\n

Tonight is the deadline for the SAQA “Golden Hour” Call for Entries, so I’ll be jurying the artwork soon, in preparation for another fundraising collection for SAQA, with Andover Fabrics. I can’t wait to see what the SAQA artists have submitted!<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
