I’ve finished my “kiwi quilt,” and I’ve named it Bounty Down Under.
This photo shows it in the “tetris,” or puzzle stage. I’d about decided where I wanted the largest pieces, but then I had to figure out how to fill in and make it all fit. It definitely kept my brain engaged – which I love.
In this photo I had changed the top a good bit. Then, it was time to fiddle. By that I mean noticing details and adjusting them. In this case, I was looking at the way the two blue shapes came together near center, high. Can you see how their top edges formed a perfect line? Although that wasn’t objectionable in any tangible way, I wondered if shifting things out of alignment might be more interesting.
So, I tried shifting the left side upward. Indeed, I did like it better. I had to chop off some good parts of the top left to do this, but I decided it was worth it.
And here’s a detail shot, showing off some of those “kiwis.”
I’m shifting gears for a week or two, from piecing to dyeing. Watch for photos on my social media. See links below.
