Designing


I've added nearly all the pieces for the base of this quilt top. When I see the two blank spots, they lead my eye into the centre as though it was a spiral and although I had planned to fill these spots with dark valued fabric, I may also try a light value to see if I prefer that effect. I especially enjoy this unexpected aspect of creating - how a mistake can lead to a gift, or in this case, how stopping when I felt tired - even though my mind was urging me to just finish by placing the last pieces - allowed for me to see a different and possibly better design.
