Old Lesson Learned ... Organizing my scrappy triangles. I had all these lovely small 60 degree triangles made up into larger 60 degree triangles, each one more attractive than the previous but no matter how I arranged them, grouped them, turned them, NOTHING looked right..they just didn't "DO". Finally I realized they still had no STRUCTURE or ORDER, until I put that sashing in there. Suddenly they looked good - immediately. Some of our scrappy quilts end up ... blah ... and I am guessing they need order, or structure. I'm hearing someone saying ... "the dynamics of the setting " . My piecing was good with all these bias edges, but that didn't matter - the design needed STRUCTURE.
And the structure absolutely works! I want my scrap quilts to grow up to look like yours. You have a real eye for this stuff. Well done--again, Elaine!!
