I am not ready to piece yet, but I am so much farther along than I was when I last checked in.
I know a number of you liked the falling water/color gradation effect, but process wins and it wasn’t working for me.
This is so much better. I couldn’t have done it without the work I did on the first version. I did extensive sorting of the colors, as you may have noticed if you enlarged the photos and looked carefully. I expect that most of you didn’t have time and will just take my word for it.
The extensive sorting that I did really helped me leap frog over the preliminary shuffling that I have done in the past. I’ll have to keep that in mind for the future.
I still have a lot of work to do, but I am feeling better about the piece.

This looks great! I love seeing your process/progress photos!
Thanks! I enjoy thinking about process. I am trying to stay grounded in the process by thinking about it.
The sad truth, Jaye, is that I tend to love the fabrics you use so I am going to love this quilt however it gets designed. (And, yes, I did like the falling water thing, but I’ll have a bit of that of my own when I make my Gypsy Wife quilt.)
Well, I am pleased to have such a great fan as you! Thanks for your vote of confidence. 😉
I really like seeing your FOTY quilts. What a great idea. Did you ever explain where you got this idea from?
Hi Janet,
Nice to see you pop in and thanks for reading.
This is the first post I wrote about the FOTY idea: https://www.artquiltmaker.com/blog/2008/01/coalescing-ideas/, which explains a little of where I got the idea and how it coalesced. A followup post talks about the process and how it evolved a little more: https://www.artquiltmaker.com/blog/2008/02/coalescing-ideas-continued/
