          Concept his is one of a series of small quilts exploring  intersecting color and value gradations. The design reminded me of a Venus flytrap  plant lurking, ready to catch an insect.  For the background I have used a gradation from deep forest  green to gold. For the “flowers” I have used a rainbow gradation, with the warm  side of the color wheel pointing in and the cool colors pointing out.  |
