It's just part of the process. A frustrating part at times, but necessary. Keep doing, trying, experimenting, changing, and whatever else you do to get to the other side. I used to tell students just try to not curse or throw things. Sometimes they did. You always do get there, so take heart in that. Besides, you have some great fabrics to work with!Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-79931523197393285082019-09-14T18:07:23.366+01:002019-09-14T18:07:23.366+01:00maybe grouping lights and darks? think watercolor ...maybe grouping lights and darks? think watercolor effects.

These butterflies make such a lovely, restrained block but always seemed difficult to figure out how to use. That’s my excuse for not sewing them. However, you will find a creative solution somewhere. <br />Love all those prints from one shirt although not sure what the shirt would look like. I’ve been culling old photos and found quite a collection of 80s and 90s. What distinctive clothes and hair from that era. So identifiable later. {Now why did your fabrics remind me of those photos? Perhaps low blood sugar. Off for lunch.}Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-64898457670134574662019-09-11T15:37:42.582+01:002019-09-11T15:37:42.582+01:00I understand about making things more complicated ...I understand about making things more complicated than they should be.

Right now you seem to be is the playing/discovery phase trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. The only thing I could add is that all your pieces are about the same size. Maybe a change in scale or adding some of your fabulous HST will spark a direction. The floral fabric is lovely with the different blue striped fabrics.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-5971742412802898172019-09-11T01:23:33.168+01:002019-09-11T01:23:33.168+01:00Failures are often more interesting than the succe...Failures are often more interesting than the successes.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.com
