I think it it has a modern feel that calls for straight lines.Melissa ;-)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14733647867832856001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494902717449857106.post-43065107838842007092010-06-28T15:03:32.687-06:002010-06-28T15:03:32.687-06:00Hmmmm...sometimes I know people like to do a lot o...Hmmmm...sometimes I know people like to do a lot of curved quilting on a piece with so many straight lines. They say the curved lines juxtaposed against the straight makes for something more pleasing to the eye. I don't know. I am not skilled at picking quilt patterns yet. It is a skill I am trying to develop.<br /><br />I like all the circles on that piece of fabric embedded in the blue rectangle. A quilting friend told me she takes her quilting ideas/themes from the fabric in the quilt. What if you made interlocking circles all over the quilt? Or pick some other motif from your small rectangles and do it all over the quilt?<br /><br />Those are my initial thoughts as I look at it. Maybe you just need to break up the "angular-ness" of it all...Stephanie in Michiganhttp://peasinapod.typepad.com/peas-in-a-pod/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494902717449857106.post-66677140762771804082010-06-28T14:32:50.844-06:002010-06-28T14:32:50.844-06:00I think you just need to keep at it....
