I meant to drum both of my quilt hangers into service for this huge monster, but, sadly, the YM left to go back to school before I could do it. Regardless, the Stepping Stones n.2 is finished.
Some guild pals helped me take the photos by holding it for me.
There are things I don’t like about it, mostly concerning value (or maybe contrast– I haven’t delved into the differences yet), but the overall look is good. I may not be done with this design yet, but we will see. I am not sure what I would do differently aside from changing placement of some of the fabrics or create a different border.
The quilting shows up really well from the back.
I will send it off to its new home soon.
I find the border surprising, because of the color, but I think it makes the center pop. Congratulations on the finish!
Thanks! I really wanted to highlight the center and try and get those diamonds and stars to pop.
I luv this. It’s exciting AND cozy. Traditional AND unexpected. (I had better stop now lol)
LOL! Please go on forever, if you want. Thanks for your kind words and for reading.
I agree with Valerie about the border. It is perfect. Not a color I would have ever even tried there, but it does set off the rest of the quilt perfectly! And now you know how far behind I am in blog reading.
Thanks so much! I don’t care how far behind you are. I am thrilled when you leave a comment!
