Wow - I haven't worked on a quilt for a while. Inkblots has been on the wall for weeks but didn't go anywhere. I had changed the layout and started to cut fabric. I had enough yardage, but two of the greens were much closer in shade on the wall than they had been on the table.
I like the color and I want to stick with this layout, so I went to Swanson's for some short yardage that might go with it.
I found a darker green, another medium green and a light green. The medium green was batik and I had hoped the mix of yellow and blue would stand out a bit more, but it just looks muddy. I like the dark green - but I'm not sure now that I have it on the wall. I know I'll be happy with the light green. Need to throw some more on the wall to confirm what I want to do.
Then there's this pile of block. I figured I'd start stitching them together while the wall attempts to take shape. Quite a stack of them - enough for a large throw or a small twin quilt. Any guess on how much that stack weighs?
We'll see which quilt I can focus on first!

The green is so pretty with the ink blot blocks! Are you looking for a colorwash effect or just want one color of green? Those string blocks look like they will make a fun design, too!
ReplyDeleteIt always intrigues me to see the in-process stages.
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up with "two of the greens were much closer in shade..." Funny how that happens. It is the difference in distance. The farther away you are the sharper the contrast needs to be. Looks like you solved the problem. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, that's going to look great. Good luck and thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
