Indian Orange Peel

This is my latest project. Karen Stone's Indian Orange Peel. My quilt is all about relative value, and balancing the color. The upper right will be a gray, the fabric that was there had the same value as it's dark below, which needs to be a bit darker. Mary suggested I paint it, so I will experiment with that today. I still am not sure about the center square in the fourth row, I like the fabrics, but there is a bit too much contrast. I have all the remaining arches planned out, and will post more photo's as it progresses.

Happy Valentines Day <3

What Gerrie said! I detest paper piecing, so I will probably never make one of these quilts, but I sure love seeing the ones other people do and your colors are gorgeous...very warm and spicy!
