You may recall that back in September I shared a photo of a new quilt top in progress.
Well, I've been working on it in fits and spurts. And I've been using the black and white filter on my phone to make some design choices. I thought I'd share that progress with you.
The "white shapes" are not dynamic enough in the image above. So, I made some adjustments:
Better, but I feel like I need more details. Some "white shapes" are just boring.
I like this, but some of it is really tough sewing. Maybe I need to simplify some of the overlapping areas?
Feels good! Some small fixes to balance need to get made and it's time to make it all fit together:
I'm pretty happy with the state of things. I'm going to marinate on this and if I still feel good about it, I'll quilt it!
Have you tried the black and white trick to help "see" the design a bit better? It's one of the reasons that Notan is an important artistic building block!
Thanks for stopping by!
