FOTY 2010 Progress

Starting out at Home

As soon as I arrived home from the retreat, I put up the portable design wall and organized the diamonds. They were pinned on the design wall, so I didn’t have to do much for the part that was already sewn. All the unsewn diamonds were just in the bag of pieces.

My next task was to put all of the reds and pinks back on the design wall. Above, I have put all the diamonds I could fit back up on the design wall.

I was really trying to fix that bottom right hand corner, which meant working on the blues.

The blues are getting better. I am making progress.

But not all of the blues are cooperating.

I felt like I needed to take a lot of pictures, so when I have succeeded in a section I have a record. I am nervous that I will need to recreate it if the diamonds get rearranged. I live with creative people and sometimes they think they are helping by rearranging things.

More with the blues.

Minor changes, but the piece is looking better.

Trying to make the leap from blue to green to yellow is proving to be a challenge. I don’t think there is such a thing as a dark yellow and that one green (smack in the middle of the photo above) is really sticking out and doesn’t seem to fit anywhere.

Back to it!

One thought on “FOTY 2010 Progress”

  1. when I am arranging quilt patches by color and value I find that looking at photos helps me judge what is misplaced. (try switching the green with the one above it. ) I also think you have a dark yellow over by the browns and purples.
