I read Audrey's post and wonder if you simply "curved" some strips to make a single large circle. It could even come and go within the open spaces you are creating here. Speaking of those... I quite agree. Open space seems to call for elaborate quilting. I don't do that as well plus and way more interested in prints. <br />Thanks for inviting us to play with scale. This looks to be an educational challenge to participate in and read about.

I think the addition of the single fabric triangles is looking good, negative space is not on my agenda, a little is just fine but not large areas, I prefer the focus to be on the fabric rather than the quilting. So, we shall see where you go with the circles!Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-57558214802833652562018-02-28T01:45:34.735+00:002018-02-28T01:45:34.735+00:00Oh yes, I can see where the solid fabric triangles...Oh yes, I can see where the solid fabric triangles are going to work very hard in this quilt! And knowing you, the stitching is going to be amazing in those areas.:) I'm like you, too much negative space makes me feel a little confused about what to stitch, but really, it's a good challenge isn't it! Gonna to have to think more about that!audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-76673012528467957322018-02-27T20:42:32.281+00:002018-02-27T20:42:32.281+00:00I, too, struggle with vast amounts of negative spa...I, too, struggle with vast amounts of negative space. I don't so much see it as a "modern" issue, but I prefer piecing, colors, and fabrics that draw my eyes around the quilt rather than the quilting itself. Keep playing with those pieces and parts - I know you'll find a good way to get it all together without running out of fabrics. I'm not sure about the circles - perhaps that is trying too hard? (I am SO guilty of not keeping things simple.)Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-31105941092917948722018-02-27T19:29:29.770+00:002018-02-27T19:29:29.770+00:00I agree with L., 'more is better'.

My challenge - which I had up on my design wall prior to reading about this challenge (how bizarre is that?) is to use larger pieces of fabric as they are so gorgeous I don't want to cut them up. I'd also like to do a 2nd challenge with this scale theme going much smaller than I usually work - but I'll use a different fabric palette for that one.KrisRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329097418939443256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-60314537679935611542018-02-27T15:12:47.903+00:002018-02-27T15:12:47.903+00:00OOOH, I'm really liking that color scheme!
