I've been thinking about tracking my quilty progress in a new way. I am calling it "What's on the design board?". On the first of every month I plan to take a photo of my design board and post the photo. Hopefully when the next month rolls around the same projects won't still be on the board. It should also serve as some incentive to actually get those projects moving when I feel uninspired (or darn right lazy).
With that said, here is my design board today:
I have flipped and moved these quilt blocks every which way hoping that the right color combination will just appear. What makes this quilt top different from most I've done is that no matter how I move the blocks around, I think they all look good. It's a nice problem to have but it still makes me unsure as to when I should stop moving them around! I even took a photo every time I moved the blocks because I've found that quilt tops look a lot different in a photo than they do on the design wall. I don't know why that happens but it is a good test for the final product. I finally asked my daughter to help me decide and this is the one she liked best so I'm ready to sew the blocks together. Hopefully I won't change my mind tomorrow.
I am going to add this post to the Fresh Sewing Day group over at the Lily's Quilts blog. Lynne is having a linky party on the first of every month to show off what we're all working on. So here we go!
Pretty! I love how the stars dance around the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, where the stars landed was definitely not planned.
Deletelove the contrast of the white star against all that color. really sparkles.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the white really does make the blocks pop.
