Hartwood Roses: Photography Workshop Assignment #1 ... a Colorful Quilt

I'm a gardener, but I'm also a frustrated quilter-wanna-be ... so the first assignment for the photography workshop at Bloom Fine Art and Rose Notes caught my eye and spurred my imagination. We were asked to create a photo quilt, concentrating on color.

My favorite color right now is pink. Most old roses are some shade of pink, and pink can help keep the winter blues away. Even though it's not winter here yet, I know it's coming. (cue the music from "Jaws")

My 'quilt' is a light and dark 9-patch design.

I downloaded Picassa 3, as was suggested, so I could make my quilt grid. The prospect of learning a new program with a project deadline looming was more than I could do this week, so I used trusty (and familiar) PhotoShop.

The roses in my quilt, left to right, are: Row 1: Maggie, Souvenir de la Malmaisson, Madame Isaac Pereire. Row 2: Romaggi Plot Bourbon, Gloire des Rosomanes, Natchitoches Noisette. Row 3: Charles de Mills, New Dawn, and Paul Neyron.

I'm not exactly sure how to find all the other participants in this workshop to see their quilts, but many of them have left comments at the bottom of THIS post at Bloom Fine Art. I'll wait till later today and see how many projects I can find posted on the various blogs. As I find them, I'll post links here at the bottom of this post.

Find details for the project for this week, due next Saturday, at Carolyn's Rose Notes HERE.
