A few of my main questions are....is the purple fabric too bright?....should I "break up" the ivory 4 corners with a coordinating ivory with color?....and also, I was planning on yet another border around each bird panel in it's own color, but now I am thinking that would be too much?
Suggestions?
Thanks!
My suggestion would be to sew one block together, see how you like it, then do another. I think it is fine the way you have it, but when you have each block made you may decide you want a sashing strip between each block to break up the tan. But I would make that decision after I have all the blocks sewn. Congratulations on what you have so far, I like the purple in there.
