The background for my new art quilt is sewn together. See my blog post from earlier this week for more information about the SAQA regional exhibition “Shifting Tides: Convergence in Cloth“.
Before I sewed the columns together, I checked the values by converting the photo to black & white, to see the values and ensure the flow from light to dark was what I wanted.
Then I sewed the columns together.
Next I’m going to layer and quilt the background, before adding appliqued schools of fish. Here’s a close up of the fabric I’m thinking of using for some of the fish.

Love this! Congrats!
Thank you for the inspiration! Love it!
What a good idea to do a value check. I liked the design in gray and thought that that was the piece and then went further to see it in teals. Very pretty!
Fascinating incline!! I love how you’ve used curves … a very interesting process. I just started a project with blue batiks myself today … beautiful colors.
