“Bounty Down Under” (Kiwi Quilt) Complete
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.
