T...Wow, congrats on getting all your circles done! That is the definition of persistence. I love the soft, almost low-volume of your backgrounds and I think the shirts/plaids would go better. And I do like the idea of the pink blocks making a plus sign somewhere in the quilt, not necessarily in the middle though. I know you'll have fun playing with this until it makes you happy!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-6925416772269972862016-11-29T17:22:12.077+00:002016-11-29T17:22:12.077+00:00I love the sort of faded look to the whole so far,...I love the sort of faded look to the whole so far, not faded like in the sun lol but the gentleness of the fabrics and stitching?<br />I too think the shirts are in keeping with that subtlety, they may have worked wonderfully as strips tween squares though not necessarily around every single square, maybe around 2 or 4 set together?<br />But as has been said, you seem to magically transform fabrics by the end into an eye pleasing whole - so I await the magic happening!<br />Do love that modern square fabric - if you don't use it , bags first refusal please LOLliniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-41291610374009610732016-11-29T16:22:24.509+00:002016-11-29T16:22:24.509+00:00I thing the lovely fabrics at the bottom draw to m...I thing the lovely fabrics at the bottom draw to much attention so the circles are no more in the center.

You should consider a 5x5 design so that those big pink 9 patch blocks can be placed in a way to not detract. Like one as the centre block and the others in the corners, or the middle of the quilt like a plus sign. Just an idea.

Switch in a big pink square, and I think the eye won't shoot across anymore.<br /><br />I love the two prints in the last photo, especially those squares! But I think the flow will be better if you stick with shirtings, and the plaids will still give plenty of contrast and interest. Those prints would make a lovely starting point for the next project!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.com
