It has been hard to get going again on the Peacock. I don’t know why. I think it required contemplation and I really have just had snatches of time here and there over the past few weeks. Some projects require concentration and no progress is made without the time and mindspace for concentration.
The problem is that this piece is taking up space on my design wall and until I finish, I can’t make any other progress. Yes, I could take this piece off the design wall, but that would be a huge mess and I am pretty sure I would never get back to it. Not worth the trouble.
As you may remember, I gathered some solids and they have been laying around waiting for my attention. Sunday, after #politicalwifery was the day. I cut and placed some strips of solids as background onto the design wall and I am pretty pleased with the results so far. I have some very light blues, but I don’t know that I will get to them as at some point in the not to distant sewing, the very darks I am using on the left will meet the lights on the right and I have to figure out that transition. There will be an angle involved for sure. Perhaps the lavender as well?
The latest iteration is really nice!
Thanks! I am making a bit of progress, which is great. Still a lot to do, but the progress feels good.
I like the second photo’s solids’ contrast with the blocks a lot Jaye! It’s so pretty for the eyes to see 🙂
Thanks! I am working hard and hope to get the top together soon. I am determined.
I like the look of the strips vs. the pieced blocks, the colors are looking great.
Thanks. I am working hard on it.
