(fuchsia 2021 by ann rhode, 42W x 43L”)
this quilt started with an inspiration photo of fuchsia blossoms with bright green stems. ann wanted to capture the intensity of the lush, vibrant colors.
(original inspiration photo for fuchsia)
for composition, ann had been looking at some paintings with four quadrant layouts and wanted to explore that design.
(a “process photo” showing some fabric choices ann auditioned along the way. ann uses a wall-mounted flannel board to play with design and see which fabrics talk to each other in an interesting manner.)
