I have been staring at this quilt on my design wall for months. I am glad it is progressing; the end is finally in sight. I will be very glad when I get it sewn together and off my design wall!
I made one tiny change to the arrangement of the Tarts Come to Tea. Can you identify the change? You can see the previous iteration on the June 4th, 2009 post. What do you think?
OK. I won’t keep you tortured in suspense. I moved the china cups up. I am still considering their new spot. It is less fabric and seams next to the twirly handle coffee pot. Also, it is fewer cups next to each other. The heart makes a bit of a break for the eye for the middle cups. My eyes were looking at all of those cups in a row and wondering if they would fly off the quilt.
Hmmmm. Without even looking at any previous posts, I can’t remember having seen before the block with the utensils, pastry and cup. But I also can’t remember seeing that red block on the bottom with 2 cups before.
Okay. I read the rest of your post, and I guess I guessed wrong. (sobbing) But this layout draws my attention to the whole quilt better, and showcases the individual blocks better. Where I might not have noticed these things before this more flattering layout.
Wonder what you will fill that one remaining space with…
Keep us posted!
I know! You could fill that space with the word “Tarts” with the letters in all different colors!
(Sorry for posting twice. My excitement just got the better of me!)
Beena: Glad you think the new layout highlights the old blocks well! Good to know. You post as much as you want! It makes me feel loved!
