I am in the middle of this project and it is not quite as I expected!
This was a mystery quilt project and I absolutely love the colours I chose which are a cream with light purple, a pattern and two lovely purple fabrics one light and one dark. The sections have been going together very well but as it was a very complicated design I got a bit behind so a lot of mine is not yet sewn together into the larger blocks which are then set on point. I am grateful for this! I have just seen the final project and all I can see are.............................. I will leave you to decide! Now my question is how do I go about working out a new design with the fabrics as they are all cut and some put together? I cannot afford to just 'file' it away as a ufo as the fabrics cost me over $100 canadian! I love the ribbon border but the rest is ........just a bit spooky! lol Any suggestions on where to start will be most appreciated! |
Spooky...lol! I have no advice for you, just wanted to say I see what you mean!
|
Sorry, all I see are stars. It's a very unique design as is.

I see what you mean as well. Looks like little aliens. If I understand you correctly, you have made the blocks but not pieced them together yet. Place them all on a table, design wall, whatever you have and start turning a few of the blocks around. Rhonda has a great tutorial on turning blocks and you can see how many different looks you get with the same blocks and just turning them around. The ribbon border is great and I am sure you can make this work.

Good advice.

You might cut or fold some of the darker fabrics in circles, squares, etc and place over some portions of the blocks you don't like and applique them.

they are space clowns wearing thier rulers spare crowns. but I love it.

LOL if you look at just the pointy row of blocks look at the single green square it looks like a lady sitting with a cone bra on! I love the border but see what you mean I would try turning that row of blocks in different ways for a different look too.

All I noticed was the fabulous ribbon border until you all got me looking at it again and again! LOL :D
Really nice, though!!!!!!! |
