Check out these photos by Tim Shinkansen - very "color-field-y." I love them!
Sometime shortly before falling asleep last night I began to envision a color field quilt called Marriage. that's what I'm running with. It took quite awhile to audition fabrics, and I'm not saying that I love what I finally went with, but I'm not going to run to the fabric store and drop $30 on every challenge, so I'm working with my somewhat limited "stash."
I chose mostly batiks because the texture reminds me of the paint texture in the CF paintings. It's not just a flat field of color, but has depth. (Until you get to the later pop-art stuff).
I've tried to cut rough, frayed edges as well. This looseness makes it seem less like a cut-out or stencil. Cut outs are fine if you're Matisse, but I'm not.
