Fall is in the air, and although the trees in south Texas do not give us the show of color seen elsewhere, don't feel too sorry for us! We have gorgeous sunsets! I took this photo from my front yard. The stripes in the sky are not a trick of photography. They were really there in the sky and extended all the way to the horizon behind me.(Colors are different on different monitors, but this sunset was brilliant orange!)
I love to find color inspiration in nature. Can you see these colors used in a quilt? I also try to notice just how much of a color you see in relation to other colors. For example, there is only a small amount of the rich orange in the photo above, but quite a bit of soothing blue and cream. Here is what I pulled from my stash that could be used. I may never even make a quilt form these, but if I did, I think it would be beautiful.
Oops! Sugarplum says, "Wait a minute! There's something on this fabric. Just let me move it!
There! got it!
perfect colors!
ReplyDeleteSugarplum is such a sweet assistant. Lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteSo enjoying the sunsets and the slightly cooler weather. There was a nice breeze and long shadows cast by the trees. And, a hope for a bit of rain. Love the palette you pulled from the photo. And, Sugarplum can come pick up threads at my house anytime. Lane
ReplyDeleteBeauty is simple everywhere, regardless of where you live. Pretty picture and sweet kitty!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Yes, we do have the most amazing sunrises and sunsets here. It's so flat here with very few trees blocking the view. Did you happen to see the sunrise I recently posted from my back porch? http://funthreads.blogspot.com/2013/09/todays-inspiration.html
