During the day yesterday with my art quilters group I tried several different layouts. I let them see the last one that I had posted before I took them down and tried other things. First I thought I should see if I want to do 2 separate quilts, so all cool, blue, purple and green was first. Then to make it bigger I tried adding the multicolor blenders.
Then I did all of the warms plus one blender block.
In the end I decided there were 3 blocks that I just couldn't live with in the batch, and 3 of my friends offered to take them home so I wouldn't have to deal with them. The layout below is the one that I like the best so I have to make one more block to finish it. I think this piece wanted to be square, not rectangular.
Just one nature shot today. The violet plants get to be almost a foot tall in some places in my garden.
How kind of your friends to take those blocks off your hands!! I'm sure it was only to help you out. ;)
ReplyDeleteSurely I will not be the only person who will mention the similarity of your blue-green blocks and the violets and leaves. That should be some kind of message here - looks like a theme.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be gorgeous. Lucky friends who took home those blocks!
ReplyDeleteGood decision with the blocks. Can't wait to see how you border them.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are wandaful!
ReplyDeleteHow I love Violets! I have never seen them so high. My Aunt had a wonderful crop under her back steps, but her sheep ate them all, when she let them in, to eat the grass on her lawn!
I'm with ya; I think it was the right choice for the piece.
ReplyDeleteLucky friends!
You know... I'm kind of liking the idea of two quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove the violets!
