I have been working on a trio of art quilts<\/a> in complementary tertiary color pairs (yellow\/orange with blue\/violet, yellow\/green with red\/violet, and red\/orange with blue\/green). I love tertiary colors, but I always want to to use ALL the tertiary colors, not just a pair of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later this month, I\u2019ll be heading to Penticton BC<\/a> for the annual conference of the Fibre Art Network<\/a>.  As usual, we will have an artwork exchange.  The theme is ‘Anything Goes’ and the only criteria is the outside perimeter or circumference cannot exceed 40 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to use the same pattern I created for the trio of quilts, reduced to 10 x 10 inches, and include all the tertiary colors on a background of black felt. As I love a scrappy look, I divided the pattern in half, so I could include 2 fabrics of each color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started in the center with yellow\/green, then following the color wheel counter-clockwise, I added yellow\/orange, red\/orange, red\/violet, blue\/violet, blue\/green and finally green\/yellow. I know that last one is really the same as yellow\/green, but there are only 6 tertiary colors and my design has 7 sections. So I used my favorite color twice – in the center and on the outer circle.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came together quickly, as I already had a lot of tertiary fabrics out for the other project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of progress shots. I cut most of the fabrics on the bias so the straight edges would be less likely to fray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to remember not to set the iron on high, so as not to melt the felt! I set it at medium, use a press cloth and keep the iron moving. This seems to be hot enough to set the fusible without shrinking or melting the felt.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here is ‘All the Tertiary Colours’, just under 10 x 10 inches. I’m not sure which way should be up, so I positioned the label diagonally. I will include a couple of my hanging clips rather than sewing on a sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I really like this, and I think I will make one for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
