I am participating in Summer of Color again this year. I love how the color challenges get me creating in a lot of different pallets. I love having a deadline to get work completed too. If you want to learn all about Summer of Color and see what everyone else has created this week go here.
I am creating small abstract art quilts this year. It is easier for me to complete a small quilt in a week. This one is 9 1/2" x 10".
It is done, for now anyway. I haven't decided if I want to add anything else or not yet. I'll let it sit on my design board for a while and think about it.
The color challenge is to use 2 blues and a green. You can use any shade of the colors that you want too though.
I laid out the fabrics and played with the design until I was happy. Then I layered batting and a backing fabric and free motion quilted it. After that was done, I cut the whole thing into strips and then rectangles. I sewed them all back together using a zig zag stitch. Here is a close up. I used my hand dyed fabric and cheese cloth and a bit of dark blue tulle.

I'll see you next week with another Summer of Color submission.
