Color studies for Spirogyra #4

Design Concept

For many years a small clipping from a magazine hung over my desk. It was a picture taken through a microscope of spirogyra, a single cell, filamentous algae, commonly known as pond scum. This the fourth quilt I have made, inspired by the patterns of dots and curving stripes found in that image.

This entire quilt is a study in intersecting color and value gradations. The fabrics used are all from my Gradations collection for Benartex. The dots are quilted in a pattern of small irregular ovals, which look like pebbles. The pebbles seem to float because the thread color matches the background fabric.The background fabrics are quilted in a small meander pattern. The yellow/green stripes, dividing the segments are quilted in wavy lines that roughly echo the edges of the templates.

Before choosing fabrics for the quilt top, I did a series of color studies in Corel Draw, and chose the color combination I liked the best.
