Who Am I? has been hanging on my design wall for weeks and I am really sick of looking at it. The concept was stellar IMO, the design choices I made were good, so I really don’t know what the problem was.I don’t know why I didn’t want to work on it, but I didn’t. The other day, I finally forced myself to work on it. <\/p>\n

I was tempted by other projects, but I forced myself to stay focused. I know I need to enjoy my quiltmaking, but I do not enjoy having quits languishing.<\/p>\n

\"Who<\/a>
Who Am I? trying borders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought about adding a small dark border so the first thing I did was try that. I had some Tilda charcoal I am going to use for Stay Tuned<\/a>, but I have enough to use for for this project as well. Also, since I know what it is, I can always buy more.<\/p>\n

As an aside, the Stay Tuned fabric palette has not been decided, so I may as well use fabric I have for projects that need it now.<\/p>\n

\"Who<\/a>
Who Am I? – making visual decisions visually<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wasn’t sure the charcoal would work completely, but I kept on. I added some further border strips using the dotted background fabric (colors on white).<\/p>\n

Putting a little of the white dotted fabric up gave me more confidence that I was on the right track. I decided my ideas were good ones, so I started sewing.<\/p>\n

\"Who<\/a>
Who Am I? – more borders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted to frame the center, but also smooth out some of the wrinkles from the applique’. I carefully measured and put on side pieces that helped to square everything up. I don’t think the quilt is completely square as I couldn’t cut much off of either side.<\/p>\n

Laying out the whole charcoal gave me the idea of doing something a little different on the bottom. I wanted to anchor the design a bit and I thought making the bottom a little heavier would work.<\/p>\n

I worked on this for about 8 hours the other day. I was able to get it done and get the binding made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
