Now that my Lady of the Lake swap blocks are completed and ready to deliver, I pulled out a work in progress. The antique quilt had sashing on each side of the block with one long sashing between the rows. I just could not get the blocks to line up like they should. So I looked at the blocks for a few days and a light went off. Cornerstones, nothing original here, but I would make them a nine patch. My thoughts being pink and green and pick up the like backgrounds of the blocks.
So, of to sewing I went. I looked at the setting over and over, slept on it, and looked some more. Something just wasn''t right I kept saying to myself they overpower. Well it was all in the fabric, Kathie has mentioned this several times on her blog. So I took this photo and emailed it to my friend Betsy and asked for a truthful answer. She said it is the cream.
Why didn't I think of this is beyond me, because I had used a similar effect before in this Toile Challenge qu
So I made the changes and this is the result. Thank you Betsy and Kathie
I am so much happier with the results. I guess I just couldn't think out of frustration. Does this ever happen to you?
Until next time. And remember it is all about the fabric.
