The Peacock has been on the design wall and I am not as excited as I was. I thought that it would be quite exciting, but I am not excited now. I am trying not to take down all the blocks and put it away, though I do think that is a very real possibility.
Still I am happy with the basic layout. I think the blocks need some space between them, but I don’t think I have it in me to cut up strips of fabric to put between each block.
I thought that perhaps I would add a Peaky to each block and make them in squares. That means I could put the blocks together with a little space between them. I put a piece of a solid behind a couple of the blocks to see what it looked like. It is hard to see what the whole piece would look like, but even still I don’t really like the look.
I think I’ll just sew the piece together, basically as shown, and be done with it.
This is gorgeous! The colors are awesome. I’d use black as the background, probably black Fairy Frost. It would be much more dramatic than the purplish.
Thanks for your kind words. I think you are right about the black. I kind of don’t want to think about it, though.
I agree with Gretchen, I’d also use a dark background. If not black, then navy, or very dark blue.
I bought some black for, at least, part of the background. I might use some green for the green section on the right. Stay tuned.
Just stick it all together and be done with it. And send it to me. LOL!!!
Be careful what you wish for!
I think it’s beautiful and once you sew it together, you might like it again. It’s quite stunning.
Thanks for the support.
