It's because the quilt was so dark in color, it actually needed 2 little med.'s tog w/the lg. triangle because then you could see reflection of light, light, light coming thru. There must be a balance somewhere or the quilt will be pulled down. Know what I mean?

You're going to feel GREAT once you break out into other color areas. You will feel like a new person! It will happen when you're ready and voila, a new you will appear in your work! Great fun talking to you. Keep up the good work!!

I do know what you mean about light and dark! I will be watching to see what I can learn from your work. I have been excited to see various techniques in these Doll Quilts that I have never done before.

Am trying to see the fabs I use in a different way along with the colors and the true artist knows how to pull it all together! I'm still working on that. It is a growing process, for sure! These doll quilt artists are amazing!
