Light, medium, and dark...quilters live by it in terms of value, right? But I love switching things around, and taking what once was a light, or a medium light, and having it play the role of a dark. I utilized this throughout this quilt, it helps create visual variety and unexpected surprises across the surface of the top.
The fabric is 3 Sister's Aster Manor by Moda, and the quilt will be off to the machine quilter's tomorrow. Cherry House Quilts is starting a new series of traditional quilts called Salutations; an homage to all things beautiful and traditional like letter writing, and quilting. This first quilt in the series is called Best Wishes.
Happy Sunday,
Cherri
