I posted a picture earlier this week of a Bargello I made that looked like a monster face. I was really disappointed in it. Many of you lovely quilters offered encouraging words, as well as suggestions that might help me like my quilt.
After deciding I could live with it if I turned it 90 degrees, I put the borders on it. However, when I was finished, I still wasn't pleased. (just wasn't)
Then I went back and read a suggestion from LyndaOH. I liked her suggestion, removed the borders, rearranged things....and no more monster face. Now I like my quilt. (Thanks again, Lynda!!)
Here are two pictures. The first is the monster face view. (once you see a double eyed monster with a frowny face, it is hard to not see that....)The second is the revised top. Now all I have to do is get those borders back on.
I took the borders off in one piece, and the new top is 1/2 inch smaller all the way around....so I have some readjusting to do. Always something new to learn, right?
Again, thanks LyndaOH!!!
