If you absolutly don't have...I love this piece. If you absolutly don't have a clue of what to do with it, give it to me. I love it as is. You know I have always wanted a piece of your work before you get famous. I love the circles; I love the color, and as for the horizontal lines I thought it was creative, and part of your design plan.<br>Debbiegnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-77382319963886798902010-09-13T11:37:01.000-04:002010-09-13T11:37:01.000-04:00I absolutely LOVE the circle fabric in this piece....I absolutely LOVE the circle fabric in this piece. You used two things I really like to see in fabric--writing and circles...so symbolic. I have to weigh in on the "I-like-it-the-way-it-is" side, but I know how frustrating it is if something about a piece really bothers you. I'm thinking (if you must) change it that you might rework the piece as a whole. Think about possibly adding something over the crease to hide it or make it look more deliberate. You might also be able to reduce the "weight" of the horizontal lines by adding something to the lines either to make them blend more into the background or emphasize something WITHIN the line rather than the line itself. Congratulations on the win at the fair. It was fun to see you get the news at the LAFTA meeting.<br>Beth Schnellenbergerhttp://www.quilterbeth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-72307456309089883862010-08-21T17:42:45.000-04:002010-08-21T17:42:45.000-04:00I've already congratted you on your well deser...I've already congratted you on your well deserved blue. I'm thrilled for you, and can just imagine the goosebumps! How cool is that, girl??!!!<br>OK, to this quilt. I really love your quilting on this piece, so to cut it up into postcards or purses would be such a shame, in my humble opinion. If the uncreaseable crease really bothers you that much, please just cut that portion out somehow. It's a wonderful piece, and like you, I love the fabrics you created!<br>Peace Dear Heart!<br>xo<br>Judyhttp://www.judyinthedyes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-36416135546885014712010-08-21T13:21:58.000-04:002010-08-21T13:21:58.000-04:00I agree with Carol...like the piece as is.But if y...I agree with Carol...like the piece as is.<br>But if you are still not feeling it you know what my choice would be of the 3 solutions you posed.....journal covers (of course) or, a close 2nd, fab for a cute purse or two.<br>Gracehttp://www.redbarn-studios.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-6597821065587639712010-08-21T12:02:01.000-04:002010-08-21T12:02:01.000-04:00thanks Gerrie!thanks Gerrie!<br>karodahttp://karoda.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-53053893567095830902010-08-21T12:01:32.000-04:002010-08-21T12:01:32.000-04:00thanks Marilyn!thanks Marilyn!<br>karodahttp://karoda.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-31516156249645091932010-08-21T12:00:36.000-04:002010-08-21T12:00:36.000-04:00Hi Carol, I haven't cut it yet...the second ph...Hi Carol, I haven't cut it yet...the second photo is actually 3 different cropped images exploring what I could do with the quilt.

Second, the second picture looks very good to me also. What is the second photo any way? Did you already cut the piece up? (I don't understand) And third, we are always our own worse critic.<br>By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on the win.<br>Carolnoreply@blogger.com
