Moving On

With the Queen of the Nereids gone on her way to Kansas, it's time to start some new projects as well as getting back to some in progress.  First on the list is a new one. Today I began work on my newest Fiberactions piece.  As you may remember, all our work this round relates to color study, the theme for May is Split-Complementary.  Now  the split-complementary color scheme can be done with either 3 or 5 analogous colors  along with your complement.  I am using 5, and My chosen colors will likely come as no surprise to you.

Turquoise is my chosen complement, so my 5 analogous colors are:

Red, Red-Orange, Orange,Yellow -Orange, and Orange-Yellow.  And I added a touch of black and white.

Yeah, I know...really stepping out of my color box....not!  maybe next time :)
At any rate, I made good progress today.  Got all the pieces cut for my background; did the necessary piecing and applique and finished the background. The applique motifs are drawn, cut and fused ready to be stitched to the background tomorrow.

The reveal is not until the 15th, but here is a look at the fabrics I used.







Any guesses as to what the outcome will be?

  2. I chose the same colors for this challenge! It'll be so interesting to see what we each come up with!
