Hopefully I'll have got something to show in a day or two. I'm so glad you like my quilts and are finding the process interesting. I have only worked from a sketch once before, on a project I'll blog once it's finished (and the person it is for has seen it). I don't know why that seemed to be the way to go this time. Usually I just work straight from the fabric, on the wall, or on the floor. <br />I would have send you a longer reply via email, but again you came in as a no reply blogger.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-7867266098040419002014-08-06T17:51:52.372+01:002014-08-06T17:51:52.372+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-9187187760803907492014-08-06T17:50:19.038+01:002014-08-06T17:50:19.038+01:00I'm glad you weren't offended getting crit...I'm glad you weren't offended getting critiques from an absolute stranger. I really like your work - this and the other quilts you posted. They are so free-flowing, great color and design. Do you usually work from a sketch or do you just put them up on the wall? I hope to see more of your process as this quilt proceeds.<br />You might be right about the elephant chunk. It does look a bit larger than the section I identify as the elephant in your sketches. But oh, I hate to unsew. <br />And no, you're the first person who's had trouble replying to me. I'm on Blogger and replying as myself. If you have trouble this I'll look up what I need to do.

Also, yo...I agree with the suggestion made by Ann. Also, your elephant looks so great against the white background. Maybe you could add more white to help break things up? I love where this is going!Lorna McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911462547010295684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-67172746837927446872014-08-06T10:52:21.294+01:002014-08-06T10:52:21.294+01:00Thanks Ann.

Here's my s...It's darling. Love the colors.<br />Here's my suggestion. Tweak it. Look at your sketches. If the circles are block centers, you should offset your own blocks more. The sketches have much more movement. Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.com
