There are two phases to choosing the placements of color ... value and color.
Okay, I see what you mean about moving the third fabric down. I am having a GREAT deal of trouble figuring out the fabric for my next bargello. I have spent hours selecting fabric from batiks.com and arranging them on their design wall. There are so many choices, and I really want what I end up with to look good. I think I am overworrying it, but I also suspect that I need to have the fabric in front of me and not on a computer screen.
I am hoping to make some fabric decisions soon.
Luckily, I am enjoying the search.
