I knew that this quilt would be busy. That is just BH's style. When I first saw BH quilt, I thought Whoa, this is too busy for me. But I put the blocks together and put them on my design. The longer they were on the wall, the better I liked them. I am starting the sashing now, and I have a feeling the longer it is on the wall the better I will like it. This is my first BH MQ and have really enjoyed the process and learned a lot. I hope she will continue with another MQ next year. A bit out of my comfort zone, but learned so much. I used a neutral and a black that the fabrics pretty much read as a solid, and I think that helped to calm down the design. I have enjoyed looking at all the variations to the quilt.
