Isn't it pretty? But it seems unbalanced to me. I didn't like that all the pastels ended up clumped together in the middle. I decided the solution would be some big happy flowers.
I happily sent off a picture to my sister and my aunt asking what they thought. I don't think they were as delighted as me.
So, I tried moving the flowers to the other end. I apologize for the poor picture quality. Didn't realize it at the time. I will try to replace it tomorrow.
I think I like the first option best because it fills in the spot where all the pastels are. I plan to put a blue border on that is a blue polkadot on a lighter blue background. The binding is bright red gingham.
If you are reading this PLEASE leave me an opinion. I am going to link up this unfinished item to Sew Darn Crafty Party in hopes it will get some traffic and I can get some opinions. What do you think?

I agree with you... adding the flowers balances out the quilt and gives a little pop to that area. Great solution! And remember... the quilting can make quite a difference too. If you FMQ around those flowers to give them even more definition, I think you'd be pleased with the results.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your input.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. I like the flowers close to the pastels better like in your first picture.
ReplyDeleteI like the first flower option the best. That turned out really cute. Sometimes a quick project you can zip through is a welcome change of pace!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to post! I went with your thoughts and put the flowers over the pastels. I tweaked it all a little. I will probably post the finished product next week. Thanks, again!
