I'm pretty sure this is the final layout. I decided to anchor the corners with the darkest blocks. Just before I take them off the wall to sew the top, I might change my mind and move a couple blocks. It has happened before!
I was going to sew the top but it was such a beautiful day yesterday. I needed to get outside and cut more of the volunteer trees and trim a couple bushes because it is free brush pick up day today. I love the clear air of August and we are having cooler than normal weather which is fine with me.
I finished 2 more dishcloths. I was surprised at the argyle type diamonds that were formed with the variegated yarn on the left.
If I want to pull anything out of the ground today would be a good day as we had 1 1/2 inches of rain last night - but more rain coming today I think too. love the color layout
Oh my. I love how the darker blocks in the corners and the lighter blocks in the interior give it a color wash look. Pretty dishcloths. My addiction. Thanks for posting pics of yours :D
The dark corners really do make this quilt somewhat like a colour wash quilt! Love it! I think we're having much the same weather - much cooler days and nights than normal for early August.
I too really like your dark corners on this piece. Gives this piece a 'Wandaful' design like none other.
Happy surprises always come out when making those dishcloths. You always knit such wonderful patterns.
I feel like our summer is coming to a close, no more 100 degree temps in the forecast... and it sure feels good to have our temps in the low to mid 80's.
This has a much different feel than the other top made with batiks. It really dances your eye across the whole quilt just like a field of wildflowers. Which one do you like the most of this pattern?? I have not knitted any dishclothes for awhile--they make excellent gifts!! I have made some a little smaller for new moms--they are soft on their little bodies. We had nice temps for a few mornings, but it is super hot and muggy today!! Take care
I love the glow you have created by the dark corners.....so I vote to leave them there. It is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes! The darker corners make this reminiscent of a colorwash quilt. I love it.
