I had a great opportunity to take a class with Maria Shell at Sisters, Oregon. She is a great quilt artist from Anchorage. The class was based on making fabric designs from solid colors.
She had quite a few examples of her work. It gave me so many ideas for future quilts. You know that feeling when your brain explodes? Maria is Nancy Crow trained so her design instincts are incredible.
This collection below is my attempt at making fabric. I decided to use the blue block for a quilt. I used a triad color scheme, which is probably the most extreme, to make Metro Grid.
How I love secondary designs and this created quite a few. I also like the principle of small, medium, and large pieces. Black and white are the neutrals here. One of my favorite quilts.
Do you see the secondary designs forming? The centers of the blocks almost look like sashing. I liked adding the little plus sign blocks on the inner border.
