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!
Welcome from Atlanta, Georgia!
I think you are doing great. I think the purple is fine and not too bright. The hardest part for me is laying out the project and rearranging the pattern a 100 times...many nights staying up too late just to rearrange one more time. You might try MadQuilter's idea of one sashing between the birds and see if that strikes your fancy. I can't wait to see the finished piece.
Have fun with it!
