Next week Mo and Ade are on spring break and we have planned to take some day trips. It will all depend on how Mo is feeling with her knee, but I'm wanting a change of scenery desperately.

You could name it "The March from Hell" or something similar since that is how it felt to you. I see some really interesting things happening in the photo squares. It is like a jar of jelly bellies with some great rhythm and movement and exciting colors. I like that you divided the photo into the segments. I'll bet later, when you feel more like it you can figure out how to do something with it that satisfies you. Or not, depending on how you feel about it. You get bonus points for finishing the project under the circumstances. You're bound to have learned something from it.
ReplyDeleteYour negative comments affected my perception of the quilt. Just knowing you don't like it has made me look at it suspiciously. It is very vibrant, has depth and interesting fabric. Maybe just satin-stitch the edge? Put it away and take it out next month, maybe you'll feel different about it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabric in the squares, and I'm sorry that the little quilt had become a symbol for stress and disappointment. Hope your month ends on a happier note and that April brings resilience.
ReplyDeleteI love the printed fabric and how you have placed the pieces to emphasize the circular motion. I think you needed to continue that with the quilting - making swirls of quilting lines that go through the squares and in nice golds and greens to connect it all.
ReplyDeleteDid you ask my opinion? Well, you got it anyway!!
It looks very festive to me. I like all the movement and the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteI think it deserves a name. It looks a bit like a 'Spin Out' to me. Like maybe you felt like life was spinning a bit out of control? Did you see my Guardian Angel? I wasn't all that happy about March either, but I think it was the cercumstance of the time. Life will change, & hopfully for the better.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question of my machine, I sew on a regular shortarm old Bernina 1260. I hope to get a Nolting 18" long arm someday, but for now the 1260 is my favorite.
