Exploring Value in Quilting with Grace Errea

June 18, 2016

Great class. Both Mom and I took the class and together we constructed a value and color Periodic Table using our own scraps.  I have two "holes", orange two and purple seven.  A trick to determine the value is to take a picture and convert the picture to black & white and then using the gray scale (supplied by Grace) determine its number between 1 and 8. This is the table mom and I made in class.  I'm going to make another while straightening up the scrap bin.





I learned a lot about value and how to use it to aid in providing shadow and dimension to picture quilts.  I purchased one of Grace's pattern; Kermit, the Frog.  I want to reinforce what I learned about value and plan to make the pattern with a blue frog (instead of green) and a complimentary yellow flower (instead of red).
