I quilted my latest quilt and was pretty happy with it.
But, as I studied it, one spot bugged me. I thought this spot was too busy and that a solid piece of fabric would look better. Should I applique a different fabric over the current one? Maybe something brown or purple?
As I auditioned that idea another spot began to bother me. That orange triangle just seemed too big.
I auditioned new fabrics in both spots. Note that one of them was pieced. I liked that design, but it was problematic when stitching, due to the additional bulk. Tricky.
But, I persevered and thought the changes improved it a lot.
I wasn’t sure about the undulating edges, so I used strips of toilet paper to cover the curves and show me what straight edges would look like. I liked it better.
Time for facing and photographing. And naming!
