Monochromatic 2 - Marty Mason


After completing my quilt, I had to giggle at myself.....you see, I don't always follow the rules.

Monochromatic Defined:  having or appearing to have only one color.  Pretty simple, huh?

When I step back and look,  really look, at my art quilt, I see that Papa Thread Person is in pink.  No problem, except that perhaps we think pink when thinking of the feminine gender!

And Mama Thread Person is in blue.  Again, a reversal of the sexes color.

And poor Baby Thread Person is in pink, blue and gold and with a face that tells me she could have been hatched from an egg.   I finally gave up puzzling over this one and named it:

"Oh, Dear....Where did we go wrong?"

    1. Yes, Ineke, when all else fails, I remember to keep my sense of humor....otherwise, I'd never get an art quilt finished.

    1. Neroli, I'm not sure I think at all. At least some near me don't think I give serious thought to anything.

    1. This one was a fun quilt to make - taking threads and making "almost" people.

  7. You know, Sue, this one makes me smile too. I guess it's the rogue "bad child" as Robbie referred to when the threads were gonna misbehave, come what may.
