I am slowly working on this piece. I have had a lot of other things to do so, in this case, slow means snail’s pace.
I have been pulling suitable reds out of the fabric closet, cutting and putting them in place. At the moment I have 3 different fabrics, but two of them are batiks and are very similar. I was trying to alternate the first two, but when I added the third (the one that looked similar), it became a little challenging. The next step is to find another red that is the same color,b ut has a slightly different pattern and add that into the mix.
I realized, as I added the third red, is that I was only putting fabrics on the vertical, so I started to move some of the three fabrics around so some of them were in horizontal positions as well. I, of course, will move them around some more when I add in the last (with any luck) fabric, but I’ll have to see.
Yes, the Field Day Zipper piece is still there. I haven’t made any progress on it, nor have I finished with the pieces from this quilt, so the FDZ piece is still in place. I did find a few more pieces, which is why it looks longer.
Love how the red livens the black/gray combination!
Yes, I decided it needed a little cheering even if it was intended for a teenager.
I actually like the white space that shows where you are wanting to put in a red strip.
TFQ said this as well. I don’t know if I will add white sashing, but we will see.
