Matisse quilt along

 Something new and fun..

Over at my 15minuteplay site, I had a challenge for using solids only, 

and using an ART painting as inspiration, to make something based 

on SEGMENTING the image,

To get that nice chock a block feeling. Hop over to the site to see

what other's have been making...

I focused on this Matisse image.  Something I have done before, 

waaay back in my early bog days I had done another challenge similar to this click here.

I keep coming back to Matisse images, and I have decided that I want to 

make a whole quilt this way... I may try to do it as a quilt as you go, am I crazy?

I just had so much fun with this, and this one is going for the swap... 

So I need to make another!  I started with her head, I didn't draw anything out, 

and I just kept adding bits and bobs until I felt I had captured what

 I wanted from the image. The Quilting was the most fun!

In one of the bee's I am in, my friend Andrea month had us doing this idea, and it 

got me all excited again about my solids....

 Her fabrics were just so yummy... Here's the one I made her.

Anyone Feel like playing along 

with a Matisse quilt along?

Groups support is always a good thing to keep me motivated!

Just using any of his images as inspiration, 

your take on this can be how ever you'd like it to be...

All solids.

Play along and you can be a guest blogger here to show your work 

and talk about your process. it can be as figurative or as abstract as you like, 

it can be just based on color selection, your choice...
