I generally make them up as i go. If I don't have enough of one print or colour, I throw something else in and when I get some nice surprises with colour combinations I run with it. No one knows what the original plan was so there is no need to be hung up about it. It will be what makes your quilt unique.
I would not introduce the mottled green to the front of your quilt. Keep it to the back if you want to use it is my suggestion and I would keep the rope and green to the front. It is looking like there will be large areas to show off some nice quilting and feathers. |
It depends on how solid the plan was in the first place, whether or not I change it. I always sketch up a design of what I want for *this* quilt...I like the comparison of finished project vs the planned one. Sometimes they're the same, sometimes they're radically different! lol
For yours, which is beautiful (!), I like the rope border then the green one. Great job! |

I would go with a thin green, the rope and then the green again. It looks great so far.

What you've done is beautiful. I'd probably add a green border to keep a nice amount going all the way around each panel, then add the rope border.

Think I would do a small green with a small rope and then a final green. Be sure and send us a picture when it is done.

Green, then rope. Your grass will look fabulous on the back.
