Even though I liked Beth's idea (in the comments yesterday) to make the last block lime green, that would have meant pulling out at least 16 pieces of lime fabric to cut one strip off and I already had black scraps ready to cut into strips. If time hadn't been a problem I might have done it, but I needed it done for my program tonight and didn't want to be working right up to the last minute. I might get the top and bottom background color strips sewn on yet today, but then maybe I won't.
Do you have a Google+ account and leave me comments? I would love to answer you but you are no reply and I can't leave you a comment without joining Google+ and I'm not going to do that. I have an email link in my profile and another on my right side bar.............
To add another green would make it too "matchy - matchy" and your quilts have always been so exuberant, unique and one of a kind, that. I would not go back and change it one bit. It is just stunning.
I like the black block, you have to look at it hard to see the different colours and that makes it more fun, a metaphor for exuberant? I really wish I was going to see your Show and Tell tonight!
Isn't it great how the bits of color in the black prints relate to all the color blocks? And how a deadline can push the use of something that turns out to be a great choice? This is another beauty!
In life, if the constraint isn't money it is TIME! You generally have plenty of one and little of the other!
ReplyDeleteSo, you can still make the lime green block after the program and switch it. :):)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time at your trunk show.
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty! I love the background textures. Lime green would have been nice (my favourite color), but it's pretty just the way it is.

ReplyDeleteThe black block ties all the blocks together color wise. Have a great time at your trunk show!
ReplyDeleteThe black really ties it all together with all of the additional colors in the black fabrics.

ReplyDeleteSuperb as it is, I like the way you altered them from the previous setting. Cheers, Jean.
ReplyDeleteThe red and the raspberry one are my favs. Nice quilt. Nobody is going to miss the lime.
