When I received Royalee's quilt, it had a lot going on. I couldn't help but notice its unabashed scappiness. The commonalities amongst the blocks were a log cabin structure, some floral prints, and the inclusion of tone on tone white strips.
I decided to tone down the busyness by adding some negative space. I kept with the log cabin structure and liberal use of color. I did include a little surprise within the piecing that Royalee will discover when she takes her quilt into a dark room. If you've been reading my blog, can you guess what this fabric is?
Oooh I like the negative space you added!
ReplyDeleteYay for glow in the dark! I really like the direction you took the quilt with the transition to negative space.
ReplyDeleteYou guessed it, Yvonne! Thank you; I had hoped the negative space would be a good segue for additions to come.
DeleteWhat a fun design! I love that it has glow in the dark fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's my son's favorite attribute!
DeleteNicely done, I like it!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWell done!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I really like how this is looking!
ReplyDeleteLovely project!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a fun addition! I love the scrappiness!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cool! I love the Low Volume negative space. I can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely interesting
ReplyDeleteThis Round Robin looks awsome! I am eager to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteFun design and I love the negative space in that quilt!

Thank you. I appreciate your visit. I love your music quilt, by the way. The College Days Blog Hop is genius too. I can't decide which of the blocks is my favorite.
Deleteperfect call on the negative space. I think the surprise and journey of collaborative quilting is so much fun. I've only done one Row Robin and had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThank you. As this Round Robin is a first for me, I can say I've only done one as well. I love the pairing of surprise with collaboration. It's been a very enjoyable experience for me.
DeleteGreat add Afton. I was so unsure what to do for my contribution so I just flowed with the wonky log cabin theme. My quilts don't usually have that many colors so I felt so out of my comfort zone but you managed to add on beautifully. I can see this having this wonderfully bright and colorful center transiting into neutral negative space on the edge. Not that, that is what is going to happen but when I see your picture that is what I see in my head. Oh I think I just thought up another quilt project to add to my list.
