Maybe it's being able to see all the quilt at once, though we've seen pictures of it on the floor. <br />Not that I'd ever tell you what to do, but may I suggest that you audition a strip of HSTs on the left side to "nudge" the lighthouses more toward the center. Not all the way center, certainly, but so that the topmost yellow one can get a little more attention. It's one of those modern quilt conundrums...how much is too much? Maybe "The Shipping Forecast" should predict the outcome. :)Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-61431075660681629132018-01-16T22:24:04.002+00:002018-01-16T22:24:04.002+00:00Beautiful! so close to the beginning of hand quilt...Beautiful! so close to the beginning of hand quilting?Carli The Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733894801130646276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-38061567577913614842018-01-16T14:44:59.931+00:002018-01-16T14:44:59.931+00:00Your smart for trying that out on the bed for size...Your smart for trying that out on the bed for size.
