I'm so enjoying your blog and your amazing quilts. I love the improv blocks, nothing more fun in my mind!<br />best from Tunisia, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-91217546092083463432011-09-09T04:40:57.380-06:002011-09-09T04:40:57.380-06:00I did this once - kept cutting and sewing until I ...I did this once - kept cutting and sewing until I didn't like it. Unfortunately I had photographed earlier phases and liked them much better. I made the pieces into a mat which I still don't like. So - you could either discard it or keep going, it could go either way! I absolutely love your work and your so-helpful tutorials, thanks for your blog. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.sheila 77https://www.blogger.com/profile/00698767195924308373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-4083577028167633732011-09-08T18:31:20.010-06:002011-09-08T18:31:20.010-06:00My 2 cents ~

I find that when I get to that point, if I ignore the self doubts and continue on, it often leads to more creative results. And don't forget, you have the backing, which I always think of as my supporting cast.Mary Keaslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908710230407490209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-89802296711478338292011-09-08T15:01:40.218-06:002011-09-08T15:01:40.218-06:00Having been here in the past, experience tells me ...Having been here in the past, experience tells me to pick one block and make a finished composition from that one alone. You are on the road to working in a series with these pieces, but trust the motif, support it with a bit more fabric, and you will have made art.<br /><br />Or ignore me and do what you will.Melody Johnsonhttp://www.fibermania.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-2040978775061345362011-09-08T14:08:31.028-06:002011-09-08T14:08:31.028-06:00it'll come together, just play with the arrang...it'll come together, just play with the arrangement. don't rush it.She Who Doodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505778459326819682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-70773587337326232282011-09-08T10:21:39.118-06:002011-09-08T10:21:39.118-06:00your funny!!

First, there is a wide range of granularity, with some blocks having tiny pieces and some having large pieces. And second, it might be helpful to define a neutral background color to pull it all together. As my friend Stacey says, neutral is whatever you have the most of.Dan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732200663031410999noreply@blogger.com
