I find spending the time just thinking can produce a solution or at least a new direction to try.

I love the power of letting a project marinate when it stalls - also the power of the photo for seeing it with slightly different perspective. That effect made me spend all my sewing time yesterday picking out and repositioning squares in the center of a quilt that I was almost finished with final borderwork on. ::sigh:: but I'm MUCH happier with it now. :) So, thank you, camera.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-21196156812885628502017-03-19T11:48:48.245+00:002017-03-19T11:48:48.245+00:00In an improv class I took a few years ago, the tea...In an improv class I took a few years ago, the teacher suggested making pieces larger as we moved out from the center. You've hit on the same idea. Like Hunter, I'm taken with those long green strips near the center. And the way you almost create a new plaid with your sets. Very interesting, Kaja.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-80447519491935605342017-03-19T00:03:50.955+00:002017-03-19T00:03:50.955+00:00The amazing thing about your quilt is that is look...The amazing thing about your quilt is that is looks like it should be oh-so-easy and yet, it's obviously such a challenge to make it look that way!

It is fantastic! From the start of this Chinese Coins challenge, I've been thinking about housetop quilts, and it looks like you are headed that way. And it is so interesting how the greens look like they are behind the light greys. It's going well, Kaja, but maybe you just need a break. It's not a race!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-19250805765067806882017-03-17T22:36:24.188+00:002017-03-17T22:36:24.188+00:00Getting stuck and having a rest will give you a fr...Getting stuck and having a rest will give you a fresh perspective :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-86046974129500589272017-03-17T18:28:16.919+00:002017-03-17T18:28:16.919+00:00I think it's growing really nicely; I can'...I think it's growing really nicely; I can't offer any advice, except to rest and look at it again after the weekend!Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395982229464502358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-19312428061564350482017-03-17T18:06:10.712+00:002017-03-17T18:06:10.712+00:00I love your process!

It's fun that photos capture that moment.<br /><br />There is no way or layout where your quilt isn't beautiful. I personally love the way the two longer green strips in the middle end up perpendicular to each other. <br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend. I'll be raviolo'ing this weekend...it'll lead to a boring blog post for sure. lol.<br /><br />Aloha<br /><br />HunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-58375148296559650092017-03-17T16:06:43.620+00:002017-03-17T16:06:43.620+00:00Yea!
