See that bright pink outer border? Do I leave it blank and fill it with quilting or do I put something in it? I have pinned some leaves up to try and help me decide.
In the meantime I decided this would be a good opportunity to sew up the background for another art quilt.
If that looks like a map to you, then you are right. I have printed a map onto fabric and have a very wild 3D embellishment to put on. I usually quilt my art quilts first before adding the embellishments as they are often too bulky to try and quilt around. I enjoy that process, as when the embellishments are added, the quilt is already bound and quilted! Makes me feel like I have skipped a step.
Opinions?
I like the leaves in that pink border. Seems kind of plain without and you are NOT plain.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of something there...but I am not sure of the leaves.. It seems to me to want some green and yellow carried through into it.
ReplyDeleteI like the leaves. I think it balances out the center! You go, girl!
ReplyDeletePull some zig zag into it? Like that map fabric!
ReplyDeleteI like the leaves in the border!
ReplyDeleteI would leave off the leaves and do some sort of meandering leaf design in the quilting using a contrasting thread. Orange thread would be really pretty against the pink.I'm sure what ever you do will be great! I love the colors:)
