| This quilt was inspired by my life-long love of the color wheel. I first learned about the color wheel when I was in Kindergarten. Red, blue and yellow. Then we learned about the rainbow and how all of the colors came from the primary color wheel. I was facinated with mixing primary paints and coming up with so many different colors. I remember standing at the easel with a too large apron on and holding a big fat paint brush with the smell of acrylic paints surrounding me. That's when my love of art began. A few years later I got the ultimate gift..a box of 64. That was the largest box of Crayola Crayons you could buy. I've loved color all of my life. Today I'm a quilter, and the first step in designing a quilt is to take my color wheel, a box of 64 and pad of paper and choose the colors I want to use in my design. I had already made a crazy quilt to enter in this contest, but when I was designing my next quilt and grabbed that color wheel I had an idea. That idea turned into this quilt. |
