I showed these blocks last week. I have a lot of finishing work to do, so they are still on my design wall, which means I keep looking at them.
My original thought was that they should but up against each other and kind of blend together. The more I looked at them, the more I thought the blending together idea wasn’t really working.
Since rearranging is free, I moved them a little apart and started looking at them. It is better having them farther apart, but I am going to reserve judgement until I make more blocks. I definitely need more fabrics to add interest, so I am glad that TFQ helped me pick additional colors and designs.
This quilt is not the mind sorbet project I thought it would be. I know I mentioned this in my last post on this quilt.
I’ve been up since five AM and obviously was bored. I emailed you a thought about this.
I played in photoshop and tried many different backgrounds, including white. No matter which color I tried, the blocks all looked like they were just floating in solid soup. Perhaps if they were set on point they would look better?
The block with the strips only, didn’t seem to fit in. Then I sliced and diced it. You’ll see what I did, when you see the photo I send you this morning.
As always, I would NEVER tell you what to do…you wouldn’t listen to me anyways cuz you’re a brat…but I am just helping put more thoughts in your head about this, from a fresh pair of eyes. IF you can call my blurred vision fresh, that is. 🙂
