My wonky stars were seeming a little claustrophobic after the last round of color. The pink seemed too much. I also had two more stars to work with. So, as much as I hate to rip.......I had to back off some. I added the other two stars to balance out the center design. I didn't have enough pink to completely encase the larger design, and I didn't think I wanted to anyway. So I decided to cut some more of the yellow into that bright pink border.
I was feeling pretty good about it now, but the stars are so subtle. I wan't to do one last thing to help them stand out against the bright colors, so I quilted around them. I think you can see it, they almost puff out in person. Here's another picture of one of them.
Now all it needs is the binding. I'm thinking no more pink. Do I do yellow...or come back with a light blue or white with blue print? What do you all think?
This is wonderful! I love your colors and your quilting! Do you have enough of the dark blue to frame it?
ReplyDeleteIt /is/ wonderful! The quilting does a nice job of helping the stars stand out. I also think a dark binding would be good - either the blue or what ever is surrounding the center star...
ReplyDeleteMy reaction was also to use the dark blue. Great minds and all that...
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is just great for those stars. By now you've probably got a border on the the quilt--waiting to see if you chose blue!
ReplyDeleteI think the stars are perfect, I want to do the quilting across the quilt that you can all do so very brilliantly... tonight I practice... wish me luck...
