Binding color fail!!

So I was just saying to my boyfriend how much I like the rail fence block and admiring how much better this potholder is than the last . . . . And then I looked again and realized it was terribly wrong.
Time to get the seam ripper and change it to green . . . |
I like it just the way it is.....
|
"Fail"is such a harsh word. I cannot see anything wrong in the picture and I really like your color choices. Keep up the good work.
|
If you change it to green the green in the block will bleed (visually, not literally) into the binding. I like it now.
|
I like the black floral binding too!
|
Ok thanks for not seeing the giant swastika I just made too!
I feel a little less dumb. The green fading into the background will fix the problem. |
Me, too. I wouldn't re-bind partly because binding pot holders is not as easy as it seems, and partly because, well, just because. It's a pot holder, after all, and pot holders in my home won't survive to be heirlooms!
When machine binding, I often use different color threads in the bobbin and the needle. Sometimes I use a thread that matches the binding on the top of the quilt and a different color in the bobbin that blends easily with the back of the quilt. That way I don't worry too much about perfect binding. That has made my bindings look 90 % better. But they're never perfect. Ever. |
Ha ha sorry Cedar, the first thing I saw was the giant swastika! Obviously it wasn't intentional but yes, I'd probably change it. Hugs!

That is not a swastika- has a propeller look maybe, but a swastika has short bent arms at the end of each blade. Also that symbol is centuries old. The Nazis stole it and put it on point for their symbol, but that was a very short instance in its long history.

I don't think it's a fail. I like it also. But, you should do what pleases you.
