Colorful quilt
I don't have a design wall ... so I use the queen size bed in my guest room to lay out my quilts. Then I stand on a bench and take a photo ... which helps me sort through the layout of the blocks. This one still needs some work ... too many white centers in top right corner. I also like to sleep on it for a night and see if it looks different the next day.
This one is REALLY busy ... I find it hard, when I wander from "my style" to know whether it really works or not. It is certainly an interesting combination ... and with none of the white space that I typically like to use ... I find the eye doesn't really have anywhere to rest.
I like the pattern and can't wait to try it with some solids!!!
Well ... off to bed. Busy day tomorrow and then some serious house hunting this weekend (and that's a whole different story ;-).
All the best

I audition my blocks as well. My design wall is either a piece of bamboo batting or the top of our queen size bed. A solid red or black instead of the white would certainly change the look. Good luck house hunting.
ReplyDeleteI think the blocks with the white on the outer edge give the eye a place to rest. You could possibly add a few more of those if you want to reduce the busyness. It is hard to work outside your usual style!
ReplyDeleteI like how this quilt is shaping up, even though you consider it busy! Beautiful colors.
