It is time for Summer of Color again. This has been one of my favorite summer art activities every year for the past three. I am expecting this summer to be a blast too. I love having color prompts that prod me into directions that I may not have gone in otherwise. The colors for this first week are aqua blue, yellow, and a splash of hot pink. I like using these colors anyway, so this one was fun and easy.
This year I decided to make quilt blocks that are 6" x 6" and after all the color prompts I will make a wall hanging art quilt. I love making textile art and want to continue in that trend this summer. I'm going to try and stick with a nature theme this year as well. Here is my first quilt block.
I used all cotton fabrics that I dyed myself. I added fusible to the back of the fabric, cut out each element, and fused them to the teal background. I added stems with embroidery thread and I machine stitched the flowers and the vase.
To see the whole quilt developed and finished please keep following along every week.
Have a great week,
Janelle
