This was the first time I arranged the pieces from the center out starting with white\/lights. This process was also the first time I heavily used my camera as a tool to arrange the patches. I took a lot of pictures, converted them to black and white and rearranged according to the value indicated in the black &amp; white photo. If a patch stuck out, I moved it. Of course, I didn\u2019t move purple patches into the green section. Some of the patches look odd if you look at the piece close, but standing back the placement works. The gradation is a big improvement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN0210sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27551\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN0210sm-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"Fabric of the Year 2013 (back)\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN0210sm-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN0210sm.jpg 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The back is a couple of Philip Jacobs prints.
