I need to do what you do more often, with articulating processes in my blog.

The colors are perfect ...Love, love those details! The colors are perfect together. Just enough to be sweet without over-doing it. You were spot on when you added the blues to cool things down just a little. And I'm fairly certain that everyone who reads your blog regularly appreciates your review. I, for one, learn something from your thinking process. It helps us to "watch" you think. It's sort of the same when I teach my students how I think while I read. I'm learning how to teach after 27 years of teaching but, hey, it works so I'm game. The idea is to "show" the kids what happens in my brain while I'm reading or writing or learning. Now I'm using that process to learn more about how others quilt. In short, I'm learning from you. Thank you very much!

Like you and everyone else, I think it was too pretty until you added the darker blues. I also like the quilting lines you chose. The way they offset the seam lines is quite effective.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-44733626683306354572015-11-27T19:06:33.884+00:002015-11-27T19:06:33.884+00:00Thanks for sharing.

I think you're right, writing really helps to clarify your thoughts; somehow they're much easier to make sense of when they're in black and white. I can't do any reflection without putting words onto 'paper'. I love the details in this quilt and, as usual, your hand quilting is beautiful and really adds to the charm of this particular quilt.Stephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461286927746997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-7423763939733635822015-11-26T08:27:11.084+00:002015-11-26T08:27:11.084+00:00I love that some bloggers really talk about the pr...I love that some bloggers really talk about the process - the good and the bad.

I agree that it helps to talk when you are stuck. I frequently ask my family's opinion, and then ignore what they say! Sometimes you just need a little extra contrast before things become clear.<br /><br />For at least six months now, it's seemed like blue is always the answer when there's a problem. Interesting!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-21209123250043592842015-11-25T20:49:22.170+00:002015-11-25T20:49:22.170+00:00This is a great post, thanks for showing the proce...This is a great post, thanks for showing the process. Often articulating what you don't like (or do like) is helping to find the solution. It's why I blog, but also why I often talk to myself, or at least that's my excuse!

I find the same thing with my quilting, that blogging about a project helps me move forward and find solutions. This is a lovely, sparky, beautiful quilt. Loved hearing about your process in making it and so intriguing to hear that you cut into it in order to add a specific color. I'll have to remember that in the future as an option! audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-54032075252581200812015-11-25T17:53:56.008+00:002015-11-25T17:53:56.008+00:00Thank you for sharing this, even if it is after th...Thank you for sharing this, even if it is after the fact.
