I selected the Work-Clothes Quilt with Center Medallion of Strips by Annie Mae Young. I loved the composition, color selection, and scale of the quilt. It feels very modern and geometrical. I also thought the artist had a very interesting life story and approach to her work. She used old clothes and left them at actual size when possible. She designed her quilts to put shapes and colors together that she felt complimented each other. I thought the end results were stunning.

My Quilt #1 (based on the "Limited Pallet Swatches"

My Quilt #1 (based on the "Limited Pallet Swatches" 

# data[].attributes.body
I took the quilt and printed it out at 8 x 10. I measured the fabric swatches the artiest used and then scaled them up to 16 x 20 in size on two heavy artist paper. My first version is based not he Limited Pallet Swatches. I didn't think it came out that well, as I made the swatches before selected the quilt. I thought I would have gotten a better result to use the notan I did of the quilt and then make blue swatches based on the grey scale. Using the limited pallet didn't allow me to capture the light and dark areas of the original quilt. But, it was helpful in getting to know the design and working through the process.

I like this second attempt better than the first. I selected warmer colors that I personally liked. If I were to do this again, I would print the quilt in black and white and create a notan to follow more closely. I think this would have provided a better overall representation. I like how the artist achieved subtle shading in the quilt. I don't think my versions accomplished this, but I do like this second version very much.

I printed a color copy of the quilt in 8 x 10, measured the areas, and then scaled them up with a ruler to 16 x 20. I made two of these on heavy artist paper.

The quilt that I choose is by Minnie Sue Coleman. This piece is amazing. For the first quilt I went with a lot of random colors but when I found out we were doing this again. I went with more bright colors for my second quilt. I honestly didn’t like how the first one came out.

# data[].attributes.body
For the second quilt, I went with dark and bright colors. It came out alright. I’m thinking of using different bright colors for the third. I think it would look a lot better.

# data[].attributes.body
In the photo, it looks like it’s not glued down. But I honestly used a lot of glue. The colors I used came out alright. I think my second quilt is way better then this one. For the big quilt, I was going to use dark colors and a lot more glue.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose this one, because this might give me an idea for what well two versions of blocks and stripes will look like with a different color versions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The colors I use is Light Blue, Light Yellow, Light Red, Violet, Dark Violet, and Navy Blue.

I ended up using very different colors because when I began I just ended up doing random colors I liked. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The colors I use is Dark Orange, Dark Green, Dark Violet, Cyan, Dark Cyan, and Pink.

I chose this quilt because I loved how mesmerizing it was to look at it. my eyes would be stuck on the middle and then feel like I’m being hypnotized. It sort of feels like an optical illusion or something like a target for archery.

"Housetop"—Fractured Medallion Variation by Rita Mae Pettway 1977

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I should’ve spaced them out more evenly because it isn’t proportional. And I wish I had better scissors to cut the paper because my scissors were hard to use so the paper came out wonky. I really do love the color pallet I used though. It reminds me of spring colors or easter colors. I also wish I had bought double sided tape instead of using glue. The glue made it hard to stick on and it was very messy.

"Housetop"—Four-Block "Half-Log Cabin" Variation by Lottie Mooney

"Housetop"—Four-Block "Half-Log Cabin" Variation by Lottie Mooney

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this piece because it was both organic and geometric in design. It uses a limited color palette but is very effective in creating both harmony and disharmony. The orange really drew me in as well!

# data[].attributes.body
What works: The green and dark purple contract each other in a way that feels very strong. The orange feels very energetic /  chaotic compared to the slightly more muted green and purple, and I think that helps add interesting dynamic to the visual composition.
What doesn't work / what I would change next time: The blue seems pretty left-field, and so I would have chosen a different color next time.

# data[].attributes.body
What works: I'm actually really pleased with the balance of colors here between the purple and the bright bluish teal. I was actually trying to go for full teal and pink, but I was happy with how the purple came out so I'm not too pressed about it. I like the patterning I did.

What doesn't work / what I would change next time: I tried to have the two sides vary a bit in height/width but it didn't come out as strongly as in the original, imo. I also chose that bright green to be interesting, but I'm not sure whether it works or clashes.

I like the strips on the quilt.

My first version quilt of the using my choice of color.

# data[].attributes.body
The colors are not a match of the original, and if there was a change in color I would choose dark red, black with the blue, and light yellow strip. What doesn't work is the small amount of blue in it. The reason why I chose a deeper brighter yellow was, because it reminds be of the yellow brick road in wizard of OZ.

# data[].attributes.body
I changed the color patterns and found this quilt to be brighter in color. The dark blue strip doesn't work, because it throws off the yellow pattern, and turns the pattern into a off set way.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the colors I would have done differently.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly really like how the last one came out. The colors I used came out amazing and it goes really good with the quilt. Had a fun time doing this one.

"Housetop" Variation by Louisiana P. Bendolph 2003

# data[].attributes.body
1. The reason why I choose the original quilt is because I love its color scheme and minimalist style. The color scheme makes me feel calm and warm, and the layout is relatively symmetrical, which I love.
2. For the first version, I want to make use of color conflicts to complete it, so that it has a completely opposite feeling with the original quilt. Therefore, I choose black, red and white with large conflicts to match. I changed the background color to preserve the symmetry of the original quilt. It amplifies their symmetry and conflict, which I think is really cool.
3. In the second version, I tried to use irregular things in a symmetrical layout. So I used different gradients or variations of color, but their layout is symmetrical, which I think is more abstract and prominent than the previous two versions.

I chose this quilt because I wanted to use a limited palette. I only used three colors for each quilt.

For Quilt 1 I used three different shades of pink to put it together although it looks orange in the picture.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
For Quilt 2 I used three different shades of blue with a little bit of green. Quilt 2 was my favorite one because of the colors I used and how vibrant it looks.

I definitely like this composition compared to the first one. This time I spaced them out more evenly. Though I might’ve made the white too similar to the color of the marker paper. I wish the middle part had not dried unevenly. It makes me feel disturbed in a way. But I definitely love the colors I chose, I think they go well together. These colors are different than what I initially put down when I planned it out. But nonetheless I think this gives the same effect like the original quilt.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this quilt as it was the first one that caught my attention and I immediately loved the pattern of it and how it looked in general.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the first one I did and while I wasn’t a fan of how the green turned out, I did like how the rest of the colors came out. I more so liked the blue than the rest of them if I had to pick one and would probably change the other two colors (red and green) to lighter and smoother shades to make it look more put together.

# data[].attributes.body
Between the two versions, this one is by far my favorite. I preferred the way the darker colors seemed to contrast with the yellow and just the overall smooth look to the entire design. I think the only thing I would change would be the blue-green color I chose to use around the parts of yellow.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this quilt mostly because of the time constraint I had from getting to this assignment later than I would've liked, otherwise I would've chosen a more detailed one amongst all the ones that there were. I do like that since it's non-geometric, and that it only consists of the five colors, this quilt seems like an assertive study on forming relative color relationships. Another reason why I chose this quilt is because it's immediately reminiscent of these modern collage images and their intuitive structure.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I've found five solid colors which coordinate surprisingly well together as one palette. Yellow and orange together are an underrated combination in my opinion. I'm particularly liking the tone of brownish gray I went with for the outside border/strips. If I had to re-do this assignment I'd draw out the lines with graphite instead of pen ink, which I had to cover using more layerings of paint than I ideally would.

# data[].attributes.body
Here's the second version of my "quilt" composition with a varying set of new colors. What I like most about this piece is the white transitioning into the deep aubergine-like color from left to right, those two colors specifically can resonate especially when coming of age/entering your late twenties. I don't dislike the colors I made this with but if I started this earlier, I probably would've used different colors other than the black and dark gray. I also didn't have enough white for mixing so this was also a product of making do with what I had available to me during the paint session.
