Designing by Trial and Error

After recently starting a new abstract quilt, I entered the exciting and frustrating world of trial and error.

I deviated from my drawn design right away, due to the size of my favorite fabrics.

And it just kept on from there. These photos represent maybe a third of the things I tried.

As always, I learned a lot of things that didn’t work. And that’s valuable, too.

The photo above shows my final  decision about fabric placement. At this point they were all just folded and pinned in place. Next, I cut and placed them, and glued them to one another. Progress!
