(the stream). I still like the idea of a path or, better yet, a two track (tractor trail) from the farm (larger) to the fields (smaller and offset)....clear as mud? Regarding the color of said fields....being a frequent flyer and former farmer, I say go with multiple colors....the kimono and the original green. And maybe one of the baby poop...that would be the winter wheat already turned tan and ready for harvest.<BR/><BR/>teriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-82666862319379811182007-04-06T05:59:00.000-04:002007-04-06T05:59:00.000-04:00It is such a treat to get to follow your design pr...It is such a treat to get to follow your design progress on this quilt.

I also like the idea of linking the crops to the houses, but think the mottle line is too skinny.... any chance of either bringing the woods down on that bare hill or having a second swath of crops moving left and behind the houses?<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing purple, too....or better, an assortment of colors, so each field is a different crop....<BR/><BR/>???<BR/>Cheers, SarahSarah Ann Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917752257414120820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-73156899415967607392007-04-02T14:29:00.000-04:002007-04-02T14:29:00.000-04:00While I like the babypoop batik, it is not a color...While I like the babypoop batik, it is not a color in the piece yet. You'd have to repeat it (probably in your hand stitching) for it to make sense. or layer some color over it. <BR/><BR/>I like the silk, but is there enough and will it blend with the purple house in front?<BR/><BR/>The gray is too cool for the piece. I'm going to say it must be the original green. <BR/><BR/>Which means I'm probably wrong.<BR/><BR/>That would put me in the same boat as joanne s. In landscapes the lighter colors signify distance, the stronger colors show closeness.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504185070473121551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-2066509824587223512007-04-02T12:58:00.000-04:002007-04-02T12:58:00.000-04:00Hmmmm.

Unless.... it could be a house (warm colors advance). By the way, your suggestion to me to crop in n my roots monoprint and get rid of the distracting edges was sheer genius! Everything is pulling together now. And Joanne, sorry, but I use light colors in the background all the time for an atmospheric effect. ie: sky that gradates from more intense blue up top to pale at the horizon and then mountains or fields that are the same pale value as the sky. Then darker and/or more saturated colors in the foreground really pop. Me again, with the two cents ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-69178582835306940272007-04-02T12:45:00.000-04:002007-04-02T12:45:00.000-04:00I'm not liking the large lavender field.

As you approach the rock, there are big grey streaks of algae that look like someone has driven a huge truck up the granite dome (which you know is impossible, but it still looks like it anyway). Very nice design elements, as always in your work! <BR/>Kathykathy yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376106135582428049noreply@blogger.com
