You will see that in the one image there is a touch of dark red which I placed in my piece to give it a focal point and to bring in a touch of colour.
I really enjoyed working on this piece.

Helsinki University Library
At first I thought this was going to be really difficult until I found so many absolutely beautiful libraries around the world. It was a difficult choice, but for those who know me well I do like curves so when I saw some of the images of the Helsinki University Library I was hooked. This is therefore my inspiration for my piece.

Love this - the lines on your piece are so precise and intriguing. the patch of red is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou have worked your love of curves beautifully and the touch of red completes it. Beautiful stitching.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very elegant quilt, very carefully interpreting the building. The proportions seem just perfect, it is a really good composition. THe tiny flash of colour is also perfectly placed. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe choice of the Helsinki Library was perfect for your love of interestingly curved lines . I really love the beautiful simplicity of this design and the subdued use of colour . Brilliant the way you have drawn our eyes to that piece of red in a spiral way creating real depth to the design . I can see that you loved doing this piece.
ReplyDeleteTake a bow, the queen of curves! This is so special, Patricia. Beautiful lines and quilting and that flash of red - a masterful stroke. Love the way you brought more than one element into your design. Hilary
ReplyDeleteThis library looks wonderful: I love the top photo. I like the way in which you have taken the various elements to make a design
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible library and well done for interpreting it as you have. I really like it and see something different each time I look at it - sometimes the image you are referencing, sometimes the Pixar light and sometimes a rocket heading into space!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've portrayed the library Patricia. The lines and the colours you've used are lovely.
