WIP Wednesday

This is my percolating project that I’ve been playing around with and I still can’t make a definite decision. So it will continue to percolate.


The sashing between the blocks didn’t work for me. The houses need to make a statement about being “a crowd” and the sashing separates them too much. I also decided late last night to make a subtle change to one other house which means ripping out some stitching. Thankfully I haven’t sewn the blocks together yet. Next, some decisions about borders…


I keep leaning toward the reds, but I think it’s because I *like* red, *a lot.* I want to fuse words in the border so I’ve settled on a yellow (not the one in the pic) and I’m going to use red for some of the words because I *like* red, *a lot.*


Then I was playing around with this for the inner border… I’ll need more if I’m going to use it. I’m undecided.

Late last night I also came up with the words for the border. I was planning on something about “standing out from the crowd,” but decided instead of a phrase to use words with opposite meanings about blending in vs. standing out–lead/follow, comply/rebel, etc.

Okay, I’m off to watch “Bones” and then finish loading a quilt on the frame…

I think the wavy border fights with your house blocks. If you could figure out how to make your house blocks float on the wave (like having it come from behind them) that might be cool.

Kudos on the quilt for Josh!

I am a lot like you. Plan, fiddle, play until it satisfies me. You will get it!
