    Default "Wonderful women" project stuck

    Hi,
    I've been very busy and tired lately and today, I finaly found some time to post on the board.
    3 years ago I bought a precious book about fabrics and clothes, filled with beautiful pictures of women from all over the world, wearing tradicional clothing.
    I decided then, to start a project inspired from the book and last week I found, cleaning my space, the squares I've made then. I finished the one I've let undone but now I'm stuck because my inspiration is not coming back as fast as I thought it would be.
    I'm sharing with you my 4 appliqué ladies and I hope to find some help in my inspiration quest.

    Looking at your blocks I was in awe how you were able to be so expressive through the positioning of each figure and their body language. I truly, truly hope you continue your project through to completion as I think you are going to have a very expressive piece of art when you're finished. Please keep going and let each block speak to you as you've done with these first 4.....

    If the inspiration has left than I would downsize my project to get it finished. Maybe I would appliqué a large earth with the continents and put the smaller blocks around it?

    These are all beautiful - the simplicity of the blocks, the grace of the poses, the fabrics you used. Just throwing this out there but maybe you could create some smaller blocks as accents and use them to show native flowers, an item of significance like pottery or a hint of a building.
