I went with a soft mellow yellow, punctuated by small triangles of embellishes batiks--- the complimentary spring green triangles all going in one direction, and the bright embellished pink facing a different direction. Is this what modern looks like? I don't know.... But I had fun experimenting with the piecing! I quilted the piece on the diagonal with variegated green thread, and bound it all with binding made from the mellow yellow fabric to have a seamless edge. But I couldn't help some contrasting color somewhere.... and backed the whole thing in a crazy tie-dyed purple. What is wrong with me? Sigh. Anyway, I enjoyed the experiment and will likely try replicating the general idea. Hope you enjoy Margie!
While I don't have a pic of the final version, I wanted to post the pics I did get of my effort to do a runner that was as restrained as I think I have ever been in terms of design/ color palate. Operating under such restraint is not my strength.... but I wanted to try it out to challenge myself, and so I made this for my fellow quilting buddy Margaret P. for her birthday, as someone who has seen first hand the rainbow-avalanche that usually dominates my projects.
