I liked how the yellow stitching on the black rickrack mimicked the yellow beads around the outer edge, and also that nice scallop it gave to the inside of my frame. And it ties in with the rickrack around the little fans (which are all done now, completed as the Rockies took out the Diamondbacks 5 to 1.)I am thinking I am going to have to do some weaving in and out of those blue chain stitches that create the outer most edge of the "H" frame....
Finishing up a long term crazy quilt project is really, really fun. All the tweaking just brings things more into focus..
I'll take your word on that "finishing up" part since I now have 2 In Progress to finish. Once IQF is over, it is back to CrazyLand for me.
ReplyDeleteYour piece is looking very cool!
Boy, that really makes the center pop! It sure seems a long way till I get to where you are!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come here I say "Oh my gosh, how beautiful!"
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty!! Well done - H would be pleased.
ReplyDeleteWow, the rick rack really adds energy to this composition. It's like it throws off electricity, especially with the yellow.
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly having fun finishing this project. And how could you live without those rickracks ? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to see the progress from day to day.
The rick rack is perfect; I agree with you about the weaving in the other stitches. I'm going to be interested to see what color you choose--
ReplyDeleteAllie - I've been looking through your blog from the beginning and I wanted to tell you how beautiful your work is. I live a few hours north of you in WA, do you teach classes anywhere?
