Changed my mind -
By the time I read yesterday's comments -
I had already changed my mind - ;))
I didn't think the Quarter Log Cabin pattern was right for these strips -
It looked like the GREEN was TOO strong and would detract from the rest of them -
So I "un-sewed" the sets and took the GREEN strips out -
And put them back with the rest of my jelly rolls - for later - ;))
I decided to make another Interweave Quilt - the short version - instead -
Using the two jelly rolls that I originally chose - thinking it might look a lot better -
And I'll save the green for a GREEN Quarter Log Cabin or something - LOL - ;))
So - I "re-paired" the strips -
And decided to cut and sew them two sets at a time -
I'm not sure if this one was printed off-grain or simply cut crookedly -
It's even more obvious from the wrong side of the fabric strip - UGH!! -
And it is REALLY annoying considering how much these dang strips cost -
You'd think they could BE straight - even if they were on sale -
Sorry - BOB said that - LOL - ;))
Anyway - today I got eight (8) rows sewn together -
And they're in no particular order -
But I think it's already looking better without the GREEN - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Well, it is less green now. It will be interesting to watch it go together. I was the recipient of a couple of jelly rolls that were very strangely cut. Good thing I can use scraps by measuring and marking.
ReplyDeleteI do think this version looks better. Those green strips might have been "a bit much."
ReplyDeleteI have had strips that were cut badly also. That is why I mostly buy yardage now...but if I win strips, I will take them and use them!
It's looking very nice.
ReplyDeleteWow, taking out the green really did make a big difference. These fabrics look nice together. It will be another nice donation.
ReplyDeleteMuch better, in my humble opinion. I like green just fine, but sometimes... As for the precuts...well...I'm with Gene!
