    Creative Chris, no - still on the drawing board.

    However, I've been cutting paper layout pieces tonight for the 16 piece fussy cut. Got to get that right!

    To check value in my designs, I frequently convert photos to black and white. With the color out of the way, I can more easily see if my quilt in progress (or computer design) needs more lights, mediums or darks. Or maybe some part needs to be lighter or darker.

    I really like your design just the way it is!

    KarenK - thank you!

    You went to a lot of trouble to do this tonal values illustration.

    Do you approve of my revision?

    Of course, I approve of your revision! :D :thumbup: :D LOL

    We all make adjustments to our projects as we work through them. With your background in sewing, crafting, photography and computing, you are bringing a very strong base of skills into quilting. Trust yourself!

    KarenK, thank you so much - hugs

    BTW love those flying geese! A project I'm eager to tackle. Ordered a special ruler from Eleanor Burns. It's somewhere between the States and Australia at the moment.

    It looks quite purty to me :-P

    I love the designing part almost as much as the making. You have a great start.
