I love creating something for the QuiltCon challenges every year. For 2027 (Atlanta), the Pick a Color challenge is calling my name. The concept is to use a single hue in the creation of your quilt and make it scrappy.
I decided to go with all solids and chose the following from Painters Palette: Azure, Pale Aqua, Aruba, Bright Aqua, Cyan, Aquarius, Artesian, Poseidon, Turquoise, Gulf Stream, and Marine. The colors look pretty amazing together in person.
My idea is to play around with blocks that look like bubbles or arches. I tried a couple of different techniques but got the best results using a technique I use for inset circles. I am placing just a dab of Elmer's clear school glue, placing the shape on top and then pressing.
Now, to try out some other color combinations.

Well I certainly love the color palette you chose for the challenge. I look forward to seeing how this comes together for you!
ReplyDeleteI love your selection of blues! The aqua gives it nice contrast. A friend in my guild also chose blue as her challenge color. I hope you make good progress on your idea. Certainly the jurors will find it difficult to choose the quilts to display in this category. Best of luck!
