The design will be Surf Song--a simple Bargello with no twists. Goal is to make it look like wind over a meadow of flowers.
At first I thought blend, blend, blend, but after studying the photo of one done, I decided more contrasts here and there would make it move more. So--here's where I'm at after making more changes. There are some colors that jump out at me--but I need that--a (reads) dark next to a (reads) lighter--for movement. See anything trouble spots? Suggestions? I know I won't know if it works until it's together... but another set of eyes would be great. all 20 [ATTACH=CONFIG]154659[/ATTACH] and left [ATTACH=CONFIG]154660[/ATTACH] close up of right side. I've taken that red one in and out so many times... [ATTACH=CONFIG]154661[/ATTACH] Here's the one from the book...I don't want to copy it exactly. ;-) [ATTACH=CONFIG]159225[/ATTACH] |
You might need a few darks for contrast. Maybe something tone on tone so it doesn't get brightened up by the flowers in it.

I think I would swap the red small print with the one to its right with blue, red, and pink larger flowers. I think it would give you a transition from warm on the right to cool on the left since it contains both warm and cool colors. I like all the fabrics! :-D :-D

Now I wonder if it should be moved one more jump to the right??? [ATTACH=CONFIG]157298[/ATTACH] The red moved once more to the right. Yes? No? [ATTACH=CONFIG]157715[/ATTACH] |
Barnbum, I hardly feel comfortable giving YOU advise. I think you are one of the quilters on here that everyone learns from. Every time I see that you have posted, I quickly look at your latest posting because I know it will be top notch. I love the colors and prints you have chosen here for this project. I just can't wait to see it finished.

How about a darker green with green leaves or grass so it would give an impression of being a dark.
Never mind, it might take away from the blues. Duh. |
I agree with jean. a nice green leafy one would look good. But I would audition it first. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Actually I was going to suggest REMOVING that one with the large flowers directly to the right of the red. When I cover it, the flow seems smoother. JMHO
