So not the initial inner square but the second one that borders it. It would make the quilt glow as at the moment, if you scrunch your eyes up and look at the quilt the yellow is standing out for me.<br />Just a thought!Little Island Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861046636908606582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-64190565722392614412009-10-21T09:13:43.714-07:002009-10-21T09:13:43.714-07:00I love the quilt!!!

The only thing I saw was the yellow area above the middle triangle was a lot of yellow, but overall, it's breathtaking! You getting an award and the story behind it made me cry (pms day today!) and I'm so happy for you! That's such an indicator to me that you really are as nice as I think you are! <br /><br />JP is on the way.

We love him but he may not be right for this project. I'm also wondering about the light stripe. With that said, it will be glorious!

It's always nice for someone to acknowledge your hard work isn't it?<br /><br />I really like the quilt - but I agree with Steffi, the purple with the white dots reads differently to the other fabrics...my eye sees it as a "gap" . If you have a few spare dark triangles, could you lay them over the top of the dots and see if it changes the look? Otherwise I love it.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793245648309186657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-15403042552409044742009-10-21T04:59:25.214-07:002009-10-21T04:59:25.214-07:00Joan, I really, really love your quilt!

I lo...Congratulations on your award! That´s great!<br /><br />I love the fabrics and the layout of your new top! The only fabric I don´t like is the one with the white polka dots, that looks a bit "wrong" for me.

I agree with Lynne that the quilting will make the quilt shine as well. I did find when I did my hstq and laid it out like that I wasn't that fussed with it until I had sewed it together and ironed it. It looked much better then. And a huge CONGRATS on getting awarded in that way, Wow! I'm so glad your friends were annoying!!! Oh and I hope we are going to get to see Tobey's quilt when she is done, needle nose pliers to help her quilt...that is a new one on me, great idea!! xoCathy @ CabbageQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160655769677384920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-25541959634733225382009-10-21T01:46:23.727-07:002009-10-21T01:46:23.727-07:00what on earth is wrong with you joan?
