Three hours of tweaking...................


I needed to cut a couple  more pink to lavender fabrics to fill in the last 2 spots on this new mini colorwash.  Then I started the serious tweaking, 3 hours of it.  At the left is after I put in the 2 pink pieces and then I started working on the light lavender area in the top center.  At the right is the final result.

Then I started working on the top right in the blue and turquoise area and the lower right side where green met brown.  I wasn't happy with the straight line between brown and green in the 3 versions above and I finally got it to a place where I was happier with it.  The three photos in the top collage were all taken in daylight from west windows.  This photo was taken with overhead lights at night.


I got the pieces webbed in one direction by 11 last night.

The rest of my day was spent with a load of laundry and putting away lots of things that have been lurking in piles for too long.  I have lots more of that to do in the next week.

Boy, lots of tweaking going on there, Wanda--but lovely result;)))
54 sunny degrees here this morning--everything is really starting to "green-up" here. If we have the predicted all day rain this coming thursday i figure a lot of leaves will burst forth...Spring has finally come...;))) hugs, Julierose

wow three hours of tweaking sometimes it takes forever to get it right and then you feel like you put them all back where they started to begin with!

I still prefer the yellow centered one as it seems to "glow" more. Of course, sewing those final seams tends to change the look of the whole piece. I really must get mine quilted. After all it's be done for 5 years, I think.
