In 1990 I started making colorwash quilts. Mostly I worked with squares but then I decided I should try triangles. The wash goes 2 different directions. The background starts with the light blue pinwheel in the upper left and the pinwheels get darker as they proceed toward the lower right corner. The second set of pinwheels are in one and down one square and go from dark in the upper left to light in the lower right. Then I just had to fill in the edge triangles. This gives high dark/light contrast in both corners with a middle section of mostly mediums where the 2 sets of pinwheels are crossing. Is that more than you ever wanted to know about this piece???LOL
This is a smaller version of one of my charm quilts with the lightest lights in the center of the block and working out to darker lights as they get to the edge of the block.
All of the fabrics in these 2 pieces are from 1990 and earlier. It is interesting how fabrics have changed over the years.
