It is so true th...You have really covered it here! It is so true that we too often stick to the "middle of the road value-wise when the "spark" is at the ends of the value spectrum. Another thing you touched on is the placement of value. What makes that blue and tan tumbler quilt patch so effective is that the light values are primarily in the center of it and I agree that will then make it a great backdrop for some applique on top of it (backlighting a center design placed on it as it were).<br /><br />More, more, more!!!

The current fad for precuts doesn't help either, as there is no opportunity to learn or bring individuality to your quilts. I suppose some people are happier reproducing others' work exactly as they can be sure of a good result, but it's not for me!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028823449044689373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-15748839610555556772015-01-06T11:02:13.452-08:002015-01-06T11:02:13.452-08:00me gusta todo lo que nos cuentas!!!

I'm not sure how I can make it right without unpicking the whole thing and starting over. There's got to be another way to add value and make it more valuable in my eyes.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-43349291473372778932015-01-04T14:53:42.878-08:002015-01-04T14:53:42.878-08:00Thanks for an entertaining and informative post.Thanks for an entertaining and informative post.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965043838288712362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-80636093076608886112015-01-04T13:15:18.616-08:002015-01-04T13:15:18.616-08:00I like how you added brights to the mantra.I like how you added brights to the mantra.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492645548495218076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-77142435819629888992015-01-04T13:10:25.565-08:002015-01-04T13:10:25.565-08:00These posts on scrap quilts are wonderful!

I learn something every time. It was interesting to read your thoughts on scrap quilt and organized scrap quilts. I usually like organization better.
