Hmmm, so, en masse, that's a lot of that background fabric. Isn't that weird how that works, because the block doesn't seem overpowered by it. But you had a sense. :thumbup: :thumbup: A couple of thoughts (which you didn't ask for)... These are part of Carol Doak's 50 FabStars, right? Great book. If you noticed, some of blocks have a slash of fabric in the corners (diagononally). I don't have the book in front of me, or the software loaded to check. But, maybe, if you did that, perhaps with the white, you could diffuse the blue fabric a bit. It really only needs to be about 1/2" wide. But then you'd have to match it up when you sew the blocks/rows together. I'd try cutting up some thin strips and lay it out on your color copies. How's it look? |
That is really beautiful. I think it will be very beautiful all sewn together. GO FOR IT!

I would print out smaller versions - like 4 to a page, cut them out and play with with them. That way you can see what secondary patterns might emerge. BTW, it will be a gorgeous quilt no matter what you decide. Fabulous job on the piecing and color selection. |
Wow, that is pretty. I don't think it's too bold. Can't wait to see pics when your finished.

Kind of looks like a stack and whack.

Here's another version. I used Photoshop too. Here it is with sashing.

I'm just going to come right out and say it, I hate sashing. You don't get those cool secondary patterns with sashing and plain, solid color sashing is BORING!! LOL
Of course this is just one woman's opinion. |
