I continued working on my latest quilt, using lots of trial and error. This is where I left off in the last blog post. I decided against the strong stripes in the lower left.
This closer shot shows how I first, fold the fabrics to audition placement and size. I cut into them when I get confidant with my plan, but I don’t do the piecing until near the end.
Compare this next photo to the one at the top of the page. I decided I needed some more blue. And I also wanted to enlarge the yellow area near the center. (And to do so with an irregular shape.)
Here, the background is completely pieced, although I’m auditioning a few little spots of color which I intend to fuse on.
Time to assess what I’ve got. Is it interesting enough? Does it have enough energy? Does it need something else?
What about some skinny and loose black circles? I auditioned the idea on my computer.
Well, I liked the circles, but not the black. What about yellow?
Yes, I think that will do!
I should have this finished soon and I’m looking forward to showing you the finished project.
