Kx...
I applaud that you even tried the technique! I've gotten the book a couple of times from the library and just haven't been able to digest it, it seems so difficult and I am more of a 'visual' learner than learning by reading. Guess I will have to take a class.
Your quilt is delightful, light, airy and crisp. You say that you aren't completely happy with it...I'm thinking that maybe because of the white background. All the photos in the book used fabric with dark backgrounds. So you are merely being influenced by the book's photos. You have created something original. Rejoice!
warm quilt hugs, sue
