I have been sitting here a little while just looking at the colours, for some reason they're taking me back to childhood days, I don't know why. Perhaps dresses worn when I was little, or those lovely older style dresses that Mum used to make, soft colours, very Springlike. Whatever is triggering the response I'm having, I'm finding it very moving.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-82362643301081804402017-07-20T19:32:45.829+01:002017-07-20T19:32:45.829+01:00I like how the dark fabric underlines the soft col...I like how the dark fabric underlines the soft colors.

I prefer the mish-mash of prints and stripes in the various hourglasses etc. And like Yvonne, I noticed and smiled when I saw the mug in the photo. I do that kind of pondering, too.

The ones that grow obviously depend heavily on your fabric choices and of course those instinctual design decisions you sharpen with each subsequent quilt project. every quilt you make continues to amaze me--where you start and where you end up!

I do see that a solid would stand out, even in grey. And with fabric as quiet as your previous choices will make a good contrast. My opinion is to try it. What's the worst that could happen?Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-89370739394186632442017-07-19T06:10:39.648+01:002017-07-19T06:10:39.648+01:00I think the added mustard pieces at the top left b...I think the added mustard pieces at the top left balance the others nicely.

I agree with you that a change in scale of the blocks would be a good thing. The beige fabric looks a bit flat, but in small doses or scattered similar to the mustard triangles, it may work.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.com
