I chose the colours from Black Vase II by Alfred Gockel.

I played with using a block as a quilt layout and added automatic borders to the quilt before recolouring it

My colors came from a needlework picture of a birch forest with various fern and floral accents. I wanted to experiment with a single shape in a quilt that was not the usual Grandmother's Flower Garden.

Calimesa, CA

The color inspiration is the same picture of a birch forest. The layout makes this one a WOW.

The borders around this idyllic scene include the blue gray of the storm clouds passing above

My friend makes Kaleidoscopes, and the changing colors and patterns are fascinating to see. My goal here was to imagine movement of the shapes and colors.

I just got back from vacation and this is a picture from when we were waiting in line to go see the National Archives.

Just as the challenge was annouced, I got an abstract picture in an email that was mostley pink, yellow, and gray. I think it is an unusual combination but I quite like it.
