Well, the Katie Z's survived their night of carousing without having to pull out their picture ID's and without even getting all that drunk. I guess they're growing up.
Me, I'm being indecisive. While they were out drinking I cut out sample pieces of black and striped fabric and pinned them to the background fabrics. I like the striped better - it's more interesting - but the black clearly shows up better; it's really obvious when you change the picture to grayscale.

Now I'm thinking about using both fabrics; black for the rectangles, gray for circles and a long barrow indicating an earlier settlement. Feel uneasy about the compromise. I do have a tendency to make quilts that look good from a foot away and dissolve into a no-contrast blur from six feet away. Is using the striped fabric going to do that to this piece?
YOU SEEM TO BE INDECISIVE ABOUT THE STRIPED E;EMENTS. I'M WONDERING IF YOU REDUCE THE SCALE OF THE STRIPED ELEMENTS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE CIRCLES, IT MIGHT PROVIDE THE COHESIVENESSS THAT SEEMS TO BE MISSING, I WOULD REDUJCE THE SIZE OF THE STRIKPED ELEM EN TS BY ATG LEASTG ALF. MJUST A THOUGHT
ReplyDeleteBut the circles are only 1 to 3 inches in diameter now! Won't 1/2" circles be even more prone to vanishing than 1" circles?
ReplyDeletei'm not saying reduce the circles, i'm sayying reduce the stripes r increase the circles. whatever i'm sorry you've misunderstppd it clearly says reduce the size of the striped elements sorry
