I see that you are doing your own thing for it? I like the overlapping design that so many are working on. If I were doing it, I would have to do it where the overlapping rings show easily. Just my personal preference.<br />Red is always a good choice. So many people like redsKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-11145845530883042862019-02-11T14:56:12.535-08:002019-02-11T14:56:12.535-08:00I'm smiling here because you sound just like m...I'm smiling here because you sound just like me! on so many fronts.

I'm sure that given time, thought, tweaking, you will get the lattice working in a way that pleases you more (since it seems to be pleasing the rest of us already). Maybe even just adding more blocks will help.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-75632266353398435462019-02-09T13:50:11.959-08:002019-02-09T13:50:11.959-08:00I too love this!

I know that stage of thinking wtf, it is a part of the process, but imho your work is spot on. I love the red halo on your top block, perfect finish. You are amazing. Your work is amazing.

Looking forward to see this one grow. On the other hand, I don't understand the "nightmare waiting to happen" part. To me, your lattice is gorgeous! I love the different shades of reds with the grey-brown-ish lattice shining on top like the sun is hitting it from different angles (maybe through the branches of a tree). It looks so 3D. You are doing great so far. Enjoy the process. :^) Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-7991917724555998962019-02-09T05:59:23.106-08:002019-02-09T05:59:23.106-08:00I'm with the other commenters -- I love what y...I'm with the other commenters -- I love what you're doing with the reds, and it makes me want to go downstairs and start the exact same project! Which you know I couldn't even make myself do, and of course I still have a few other things to clear out before I even could! However, I have been thinking lately about using more red, so perhaps that's part of it. As to the bullseye, can't wait to see the direction it takes.

It's bright and bold and when all was said and done, I loved it. I think yours is heading there too. It's a different quilt than you usually do, but it is stunning! Keep going, I think you'll love it!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-88729100187729763962019-02-08T16:10:25.702-08:002019-02-08T16:10:25.702-08:00I love it.
