It's composed "on point" which will be a challenge for displaying it in any venue. Adding corners will give you the opportunity to repeat the elements that you see as having too much contrast and not quite fitting in right now. Also, it will be easier to hang or work into another project when it's a squared or rectangular format.Nellie's Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468773469685787840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-10108904316497803862009-01-17T23:02:00.000-07:002009-01-17T23:02:00.000-07:00Fantastic!!!

I'd never thought of it for quilts. Great idea. And I like your snail piece.
