Here is the latest update to the Flowering Snowball (Cross Blocks).
As I have mentioned, I am nearing the end of the project. I am not sure what the end actually is, but am thinking that it is 10 more of the middle blocks and then a round of border blocks. I haven’t designed the border blocks, but will design them to complete the colored areas with the rest being white. I was also thinking of a black border. I need to play around with what I am thinking because it is much easier to show a photo/image than explain.
Here is a detail.
The Child came in and joined me while I was looking at the blocks. He said that it looks too chaotic and I need to put some solids in it. HUH???
I do think he is right. I don’t know if I will use tone-on-tones or something like low contrast batiks, but I think I need to add some resting spots for the viewers eyes. I will try it out and see what I come up with.
I love how you used the mostly white with black and brights on this quilt. I also agree with you that it is nice to have a place for the eye to rest, even though I love lots of color and movement!
Thanks! I wanted a uniform background, but didn’t want to use one fabric. I am thinking that the last 10 blocks I make will be from tone-on-tones. We will see.
