Twigs of Teal and Red-Orange: Creating a Diagonal

Here’s that featured fabric loosely put into place. Not bad, I think. But what now? I think I’ll probably need to cut into the twiggy fabric some in order to create more energy.

Perhaps a diagonal will work well.

Hmm. It has potential.

Time to fill in the corners. Of course, I could use blue-green in the bottom right, but that seems rather predictable. What would yellow look like?

Not the best choice, I think. What about pink?

I was not at all convinced about the pink, but I left it in place for most of the rest of the design process.

Because I really liked the stripes, I decided to group them all together. Now, THAT I loved! These stripes were printed on the diagonal and I think that really helps.

A better look at those stripes,  not yet pieced. This was exciting me!

LOTS more trial and error lay ahead.
