Today is reveal day at Art Quilts Around the World. The theme for this challenge was "opposites attract."
I admit, I had trouble with this one. After discarding about a thousand ideas, I realized that I kept coming back to colors; I love that colors opposite each other on the color wheel are so pleasing together.
So I finally just picked a couple and offset them with the black and white. I used three or four different fabrics for each color -- the hand-dyes are all my own.
I thought it looked a bit like an abstract feather, so I quilted it with somewhat traditional feathers, using bright, non-traditional thread.
And here is the back -- I started out with orange thread in the bobbin and when that ran out, I switched to grey.

I also like the lovely meandering curved line juxtaposed against the rigid straight lines of the piecing. WELL done!!!!
