I have been very interested in watching a friend of mine design modern quilt. He doesn't make them all, but some he does. And I have been talking to several of my blogging friends and my art quilting friends, Carrie and my quilting friends about design and design elements.
I have decided to take an online class from Jane Dunnewold about Elements of Composition. She teaches art at a University in San Antonio (I think it is SA) and is a painter and a quilter and an artist.
That hasn't started yet, but i am getting stoked!
On my own, with encouragement from my Modern Friend of Paragraph 1, I have been playing with several programs today and made this design from one of my photos.
I hope you are mightily impressed........I am!

I was able to create a simple block, and when it went together I could play with it to change the colors and orientation of the blocks. Bingo.
Loving it!
