Getting it Right 03-17-15

Visions Art Museum has challenges at various times of the year.  In the past the criteria called for a 12"X12" size, but this year they are mixing it up with different sizes for different subjects.  Due on April 1st  is "Abstract" - 10"W x 14"L - Portrait orientation.  The art quilt group I belong to, closely associated with Visions, made this our group challenge for March.  I have been doing a "series" of "Color Bowl" quilts for a number of years and decided one would be appropriate.  Unfortunately, I am not happy with the results and have tried various "adjustments" to make it work - to no avail.  As time is disappearing fast, I decided to cut up an unfinished top that has been hanging around for decades (at least one).
 
 
"Color Bowls - Three/Autumn"  Del Thomas 2015 10" x 14"  incomplete
 
This is what I have come up with as a substitute for Color Bowls.  It is all finished except for the binding.


"Yadach" Del Thomas 2015 10" x 14"
Cotton fabric, batting, thread.  Machine pieced and quilted.
 
All of the challenge quilts will be hung at the Museum in connection with the exhibits that run from April 18 through July 5.  Most of them will be for sale.
