Color Theory

I'm excited. I'm taking an art class, Color Theory, at the college where I teach. It's the first formal art class I've ever taken, including high school. Because of snow, we've only met once. Our first assignment is to make a paper collage of about 30 pieces of paper that represent the complete range of value from white to black. This assignment inspired me to make this quilt.

I already had these fabrics arranged on my work table before the class started.  I've only used eight fabrics here, but each is a different value. Good practice for the class. I couched metallic yarn that I've had in my stash for years, purchased at Garn Huset, a yarn discount store in Norway. This is the reason I don't throw things away. Eventually they are included as the perfect adjunct to a project.

I sent the quilt to SAQA today for the "This is a Quilt" trunk show.
