Artistic interpretation of New York City

A panel was donated to the charity I sew for, and I added borders to get it to a size for a teenager. (We aim for 40" x 56" for the teens.) Now that I look at it all done, I should have used maybe red instead of the blue.

It looks too much like sky!

P.S. Why can't I aim that camera so the picture is straight!?

This is a perfect teen quilt. I love it just the way it is - looks like a dream city with the blue on the sides ...

I like it just as it is. The dark blue is far enough from the sky blue that it's clearly not sky.

Great quilt. I agree--the blue is far enough away that it doesn't look like sky. I think red would be distracting and you'd maybe lose the buildings next to it.

That turned out to be very pretty. I like it. I have issues with figuring out how to enhance a panel and make it turn out good. Every time someone uses a panel, I take notice and learn from it. Good job!
