So I gathered my materials cutting them out from new orange and light green wool and scattered them across an old piece of dark green felt. I machine felted them into place, then free motion sewed them with spirals and circles.I used variegated embroidery floss to outline the fruit to make it stand out more. I mixed some orange netting into the oranges for contrast in fabrics and added beads for more texture. I learned that orange and green are secondary colors on the color wheel and thus opposites too. I free motion sewed around them all making rows in which to sew more beads sometimes with matching colors opposite each other. I sewed buttons of matching colors in opposite corners in opposite sizes of large and small.
It was my day off from my job so I was able to work on this from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. utilizing opposite ends of the day and night!
It was fun making this challenge quilt filled with opposites ofApples and Oranges!
