7\/29\/2006: I have had Thoughts on Dots <\/em>on the wall for a few weeks again, but haven’t moved any of the squares around nor have I sewed anything.<\/p>\n

I moved some squares around this morning when it was very quiet in the house and, as a result, today was the first day in a long while that I have felt like being creative. I really need a table to which I can walk up and glue and paint and cut, because I had a massive desire to experiment with the Tsukineko inks.<\/p>\n

I did move a number of squares around after I took the above photo, but think I may have the final layout now. It is an interesting exercise to get the colors\/fabrics in the right place in order to give the right feel.<\/p>\n

One wrench in the mechanism are the new dot fabrics that I cut last weekend while in Seattle. I had planned to add them to this piece, but am wondering if I don’t like the light, fresh, airy feeling of Thoughts on Dots<\/em> as it is now? Or am I being a chicken and need to, as Lorraine Torrence says, make visual decisions visually? This quilt is destined to be a cuddle quilt, as I may have mentioned, with the express purpose of making me feel better when the life or the monkey chatter gets overwelming. I think, as a result, that the layout has to give the right feeling more than be designed as a great work of art.<\/p>\n

I have more sets of squares waiting for my attention in this same exercise and am looking forward to working with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
