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.

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

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.
