Sometimes it is an odd place to be. I find that I don't like frilly but I do like feminine -- soft floral shades and enhancements like embroidery. I like a good geometric repetitive block design -- my favourite? Churn Dash/ Hole in the Barn Door. I love the strong geometric contrasts of Modern Quilts and I totally enjoy the idea of threadpainting...
How to settle myself?
This week (and last week too!) I have been wanting to create what places that sell high end stuff are calling a BED RUNNER. Fancy hotels now seem to have them on the big fluffy down filled coverlets - probably to add a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral room...
Anyway.
I started out this project with pink and green -- they didn't go together even though I did get favourable comments -- were you just being nice? Thats okay, it is good for the ego but it wasn't what I was aiming for, even though I thought it was, then.
I am still stuck on the Dresden Plate applique pattern and have cut and pieced about 20 of them! I do get carried away sometimes!
So. With the Dresdens, and this new background for them, along with a random placement of the dresdens, this is where I am... The dresdens are temporarily placed and I am thinking of putting them a bit closer together...
Does it need more dresdens? Should the dresdens be brighter, or perhaps darker neutrals? Still a ways to go with this, but at least I think this is closer to what i want... Hmmm???
By the way, please excuse the shadows and odd lighting, the sun was streaming in the window and it made for rather uneven light on my "design' wall...
