Orca Bay - 2/7/12

So - I plastered something up on the wall yesterday -

So that I could link up with everybody -

BUT -

I DON’T LIKE IT -

It is just Waaaaaaaaaay TOO BUSY for me - ;((

Absolutely NO reflection on Bonnie or her quilts -

I LOVE her quilts -

And I LOVED her “Christmas Lights” quilt
That I made a couple of years ago -

But THIS quilt -
In THESE colors -
And MY fabrics -
With all of the STRING blocks -
And all of the “MOVEMENT” -
Is just TOO BUSY for me -

So I played with it -

And played with it -

And -

I STILL don’t like it -

So I pulled off all of the RED -
And got back down to the BONES -

I DO like the Black/White star blocks -
And I like how MY version extends the black stars -
So I’m keeping those for sure - ;))

Put the blue string blocks back -
Nope - still too busy -
Plenty of movement without them -
And I lose my star points -

I DO like the white/neutral geese -
Framing the white blocks -
Really makes the extended black stars shine -

Back to the cornerstones -
Try the blue strings again? -
Nope - still too busy -
Sorry - no blue string blocks in this one -

I do like the extra shot of color, though -

What about some red? -
That is a possible maybe -

What about some black? -

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
