The early morning light is a great suggestion. I tried it this morning; what a difference! <br />It's funny how a small thing can bug us.

Another thing I like to do is look at the work on the design wall in very early morning light. That really shows the balance of values throughout the quilt. I would have broken the T too.

I like how you salvaged those selvages. Kind of edgy... [insert groan here]<br /><br />I wouldn't have changed anything around because I rarely look at quilts on walls so nothing much bothers me enough to change anything after blocks are put together. <br /><br />But, FYI...My eyes went immediately to that /\/\/\/\/\ "diamond eye" selvage in the whole picture and then what looks like one long selvage above it and then to what was above that line and so I kind of missed that T section you were bothered about. <br /><br />Yes...uh huh, uh huh, I like it.

For a change, I have it on my design wall. Still mixed feelings but I'm not taking all the long seams out. Still plan to remove one from that final seam. <br />Like you, I'm surprised how differently the strips look en masse that they did individually or even as the sheet. The top is more subtle than most of mine. I like the little pops of color, too.

I definitely like the way the strips work en masse with just the solid centres and occasional solid coloured selvedge to break things up.

I haven't redone any of this but these final seams are bothering me. The added strips make this more improv than using the blocks alone but the last one is off. I'm going to take it out, put it back on the design wall to ponder for a while.

Others don't see the same problems or problems at all in your art. I think it looks great and is very pleasing to the eye.

Funny the details you see up close would never be noticed from a few feet away by someone who didn't make it. It's when you're making it you notice these things and can't stop looking. very strong lines here LEeAnnaLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.com
