Humble Shaded 9 Patch. From a box of scraps, and some 2 1/2" strips. I used Karen Comb's book, Combing through your Scraps, to help plan a design so I wouldn't have to get up and down from the floor/rug. This finishes at 60" square. Yes, one mistake . I liked it that way, just to be stubborn.
I am quilting non-glamorous swirls in the dark areas and a wandering leafy thing in the lights, starting in the middle dark, then stopping at a border area to change thread. I guess my concentration skills applied only to the quilting part, and not on the value under the needle. I "forgot" 3 separate times - you'd think a person can remember to STOP when moving between lights and darks! Lots of picking threads out when I realized, too late, that my quilting just kept on going, crossing over border lines.
That's such a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteI agree. And most of the time, it is only the maker who sees the 'mistakes' and we can call them design decisions! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI really like this version of the shaded 9-patch. Your "mistake" could be intentional. I like it that way.
ReplyDeleteOh, the frustration of changing thread colors. I totally get it!
Looks great!
