    I tried my hand at attic windows for this swap quilt top. Next time I know I will try to make the window sills contrast a little more than they do here. I still need to starch and press this, then will move on to focus and outer boarders.

    Goofy husband who stuck his head up right as I was taking the picture.

    I'm trying to figure out if the attic windows stand out enough. It didn't turn out exactly what I envisioned, but now I know how to do attic windows.

    I think you're right, there isn't enough contrast between the darker strip and the black in the blocks.
    It still looks awesome though!

    Looks great, even with the goofy husband in there! lol
    I agree with the others about the contrast.
    But, all in all...GREAT JOB!
