I love the dragonflies, and I also think it would look great with the blocks alternating with a different block, to break it up, and add depth and dimension...
Here is an idea I found that is pretty, maybe a take on it if you decide to do another pattern and not a blank square to alternate; it is from emsewandsew.blogspot.com: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pgGd8vKz5Q...ragonflies.jpg |

More important, I just don't think she will like it!
Honest opinions please... should I try to find rose/brown fabric and alternate blocks or put it together like this. I will definately call him to come see it before I do any more than 3 rows... It just isn't setting right with me, but then again I have been working on this since July so maybe I am just burned out new look for dragonfly quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]278370[/ATTACH] |
I think doing alternate blocks with a matching print would be good. Just saw your new layout. Looks Great!

Oh that is the perfect solution!! Just the right balance now and may i say your dragon-flies are adorable!!

perfect. It will be a lovely quilt.

I think this would look fabulous as an irish chain, with the dragonflies in the "open" areas between the chains.
Or what you have :) I just saw your updated photo - it is lovely. |
