I like the pattern used throughout the quilt. whilst trying to replicate the pattern, I found that the quilt is broken into separate squares w/ a radial pattern

The quilt uses warm colors with off white, light brown, and orange.

I chose this design because I really liked the composition, and verity of patterns and texture within the piece. The colors were also really pleasing to the eye. The warm greens and cool muted reds complement each other nicely without feeling too chrismas(y). I mostly used the composition rather than the color scheme as inspiration for my piece.

In 2015, I traveled to India. I liked the blanket with beautiful color. I chose this image because of the strength and boldness of the brilliant color against the dark background. I will create in the exercise, that will be beautiful and will engender a reaction of pleasure. I created a collage composition using the Gee's Bend Quilts as inspiration. I altered the color palette. I applied the size 16"x16" minimum and the largest swatch size 4.5"x 4" maximum. I made to collage something because of a feeling. I finished an important exercise. I have come a long way in getting to know color and I know possess a basic knowledge of color.

I picked this quilt, Candis Pettway 'LogCabin' because of the intricate designs and color depth. More importantly to me this quilt had sentimental value as well It reminded me of the quilts my late uncle use to give me in the winter. They had beautiful patterns and deep reds and earthy colors to them were kinda itchy so I didn’t sleep with them but I kept them on my bed since it smelled like him, old house tobacco and real lather boots.

Inspiration Quilt by Allie Pettway. Blocks and Stripes

The quilt that I picked as my inspiration is a two sided quilt and I chose to recreate the side that consists of blocks and stripes. The original quilt is 88 x 80 inches.
The reason it appeals to me is because it's a combination of black and white blocks combined with colored pieces. I like to combine color with black and white myself and the contrast that black and white stripes create just really speaks to me.  Another reason, I have to admit, is that this quilt doesn't have a complex pattern. It looks very improvisational, which I love about it.

Before I glue the pieces down, I found that I will need to extend the paper and decide on more ornaments to put around the piece.

I chose this quilt because I liked its simple design and I saw potential for it to become something more eye catching and personal to me. I chose to use the same colors but added patterning to the colors because I liked how the colours laid out together. I like how the design fits together and is more than meets the eye than at first glance. If I were to change something, I would have maybe tweaked the colors to be brighter, which i originally thought I wouldn't want to change, because the other color scheme was so nice. However the pattern would pop more if it was brighter.

So this is the Gee Bend that I found on Pinterest. I looked on the website provided on the assignment but nothing really stood out to me. So what did I do? Skipped on over to Pinterest where I seriously get most of my inspiration for any art project. The one I found is below and I was instantly taken by the colors in the piece. I loved the blues and how it was spread out almost evenly throughout the blanket. In almost every single square there’s at least one shade of blue incorporated in it. I also like that way the borders of the blanket also kept with the pattern and had blues in it as well. Another reason why I chose this is because of the geometrical shapes on it. The squares and rectangles were what I was looking for when I was looking for a blanket to take inspiration from. Mainly because it would have been easy to replicate honestly since more rounded and organic shapes would be harder to cut out and shape.

This is my finished collage composition. I really liked how it turned out. I originally went overboard on the limited color palette assignment and ended up with way more than required so I forced myself to start with only 6 colors at first and when I felt I needed more since I was running out of marker paper, I would gradually add in more colors. I was extremely hesitant to use the pure ultramarine blue because of how dark in color it was compared to the rest. Surprisingly, I ended up loving it completely and was trying to sneak in some more of the ultramarine throughout the paper. I also tried to continue the mixture of blues in the piece just like the reference Gee Bend I mentioned above. I was also getting a bit too excited with coming up with designs in some of the squares. In the Gee Bend above there were only a couple of patches with designs on them, meanwhile I went crazy and adding designs in almost all of the squares on my collage.

This was just a rough sketch to help me get an idea of what kind of shapes I would need to cut for my collage. If you compare my sketch with my finished project you can see that I totally broke away from following my sketch and just went with the flow.

I really like the use of colors in my quilt. I refunded the original quilt’s composition and color organization. I placed muted colors by the center and sides of the piece. And made large connecting areas of bright prismatic colors that would draw the eye along the collage. For my mosaic collage I didn’t use a very good glue stick and it made my life a million times harder. This time I learned my lesson and upgraded to an Elmer’s glue stick! Made it so much easier . If I were to do this again I would pick a more complicated composition, but only if I had more time to complete the piece. Over all I really like the finished result.

This quilt is called "Housetop Variation", by Louisiana P. Bendolph (2003). I chose it because I like the symmetrical composition and the neutrality in the colors.

This is my first draft. I copied the original quilt's design but picked a different color scheme. It was a bit of a challenge to me because I really liked the original color scheme that Allie Pettway had used. My version has brighter, more contrasting colors.

After I was done with my initial plan, I painted some swatches and glued them onto a larger sheet, however, later on I decided to use some patterned origami paper that I thought would work well for this project. Then I changed my mind again and decided to go with the pictures from the magazines I had at home to create patterned blocks. I made sure to choose the pictures with the colors matching my original painted swatches.

And here is my final collage version. I still like the original quilt much better. It's amazing how the Gee's Bend ladies were able to create such artful quilts with just the pieces of fabric that were available to them. I decided to apply what I've learned in this assignment to making a collage picture on a canvas.

I have chosen Delia Bennett's quilt because of how colorful and beautiful it looks. Not to mention the different kinds of quilt colors were on Ms.Bennett's quilt.

I have made Delia Bennett's quilt by using different kinds of swatches that I made in the previous assignment. It's a patch work quilt because I was running out of the quilts colors on the dark and light areas. There are some places were there are some holes in them, but overall, it's a very colorful looking quilt.

I personally think I did good resembling the original quilt. From the beginning, I knew I wanted to do different colors, but I loved the color combination already so I inverted the red, blue, and added the yellow. The yellow adds pop and ties it together. I think another thing that really works is the yellow is solid all around which adds the the contrast of the variety of the blues and reds. If I were to redo this project, I would section the blues, the same from top to bottom instead of the sporadic spectrum of blues.

I really enjoyed creating the colors as I went along. I measured a little off and it ended up being smaller than I planned by a couple inches. I made a mistake and went over a lot of glued on strips and did t want to ruin the paper or the strips. So it got cut short. I could have made some of the inner rings thicker. But all in all I really like the way the colors matched one another. I would have made it bigger and kept the same colors.-Izzy

I chose this design because of the cool colors and also the illusion of rectangles and squares. It was really funny to make a sketch and have to redo it because I sketched out squares not even realizing that it was rectangular at first. I really like how the patterned strips laid out it, I think it ended up looking pretty interesting. If I could change one thing I would change the blue shade at the edge to be brighter.

i definitely wish that i had used more neon colours as mine looks very dull, i was hoping to go for something more pastel but it looks more grey-ish.

My quilt is chaotic in a way. I tried to use only the limited random color swatches that I made, which made it look the way it does. The outcome is overall good I think. What I like about this quilt is shapes in the middle. Like the pink triangle in the lime green square and the lime green triangle in the pink square. It is that playing around with colors is what I really like about my quilt. If I were to redo this project, I would want to try a more free form method, rather than the planning method I did for this quilt.
