Contrast in Quilt: Enough? Too Much?
I've begun a new wall hanging and had a few acrylic templates made. Now the question is, what is too much contrast and what is not enough?
Originally, my background fabric was going to be the lime green, but survey say, that is "too much", so I am going with the multi-colour, but I still want the pop of the lime...Do you think over the course of the entire wall hanging, I can have some block backgrounds in the lime? (I know I can do anything I want, but should I?)
Do you find the block with the multi-colour background has enough "pop?
There is also a version of the Drunkards Path still to come that I can add some lime green to.
I just don't want the quilt to be flat-looking.
Ideas, comments?
Here are the two blocks I have done so far, although they aren't sewn together as I may end up mix and matching them .
Thanks, Watson
