“Second Thoughts” Complete

Finally, here is Second Thoughts, complete.  I had a lot of fun working on it and I’m quite happy with the results.

Did you notice I turned it upside down?  That was just the jolt it needed.

Here’s a detail shot.

Notice that I added subtle squares in the background.  I love little things like that which you can only appreciate after studying it closely.

The statement for this piece says:

When designing, my first thoughts get me started. But, as things evolve, I listen to my second (and third and fourth) thoughts to lead me in new directions.

This quilt is 36″ x 24″ and priced at $895.  I hope you like it!

      Thanks, Michele. When creating with no particular plan like this, I always allow – no encourage – myself to take every detour that occurs to me. Usually that yields good results and I ALWAYS enjoy the journey!
