Hand on heart here :lol: I let them fall where they did There are places where the same 2 pieces ended up next to each other, but in the dark and light values scheme, they work. I am hoping, that when it is done, it is the pattern that will stand out, and then just an eye of lots of colors, that is if I do it right :roll:
I think, and this is just my opinion, that patterns were come by because our quilt ancestors had such a small amount of material, and didn't have a lot of choices, so they had to come up with different patterns to make their work stand out. It is easy to use a beautiful piece of material, and work around it. But to know that they could take the left over scraps from their clothing, and turn them into a work of art has always fascinated me. Oh, well, you know how strange I am :lol: :lol:

That is one beautiful quilt. It's got to go on my todo list. Lord knows I have enough scraps but mine are more brights. I'm thinking I'll have to start buying a little different shade to get to look that nice. Love it

I hope that one day I can do this. Your pieces are quite eye appealing. I am new to quilting and this one looks like fun to do (when I get enough stash). Thank you for sharing and giving me another idea. Good thoughts.
