My contribution for this challenge. I've been taking part in another challenge as well recently, and then at a get-together with fellow quilters we were looking at Notan designs, and I realised I could combine both. When working in paper you just turn over the pieces to get the expanded image, but that doesn't work with bonding fabric, so I had to make two. The same happened with my other challenge, so I ended up with 4 related pieces. Here's the other three images.

Love them. There is something very Mayan/Aztec about the actual designs. I love the one you have chosen and it also says gold to me - another link to ancient peoples.

Nice use of complementary colours, Linda!

ReplyDeleteReally vibrant and great use of the theme fabric. They look like fun to do!
ReplyDeleteDitto Love them all!
ReplyDeleteA fun technique to play around with and I can see you have. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the alternative designs but I think I prefer 'ours' because of its' relative simplicity!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've put the 4 components together, and set them up with the "bridge" in the middle and the frame created by the quilting.
ReplyDeleteVery intricate Notan in comparison the the ones I have made. They must have been fun to produce. Makes me want to try it again.
ReplyDeletelove the complimentary colors and your quilting is exquisite.
