The pattern reveled the Burgoyne Surrounded Quilt Block. I'm just getting back to the bits and pieces. My original background was a floral - pink flowers with green leaves on a dark field - I'm having trouble telling if it is Black or Navy.
I played with the lay out before I started sewing:
1. I loved the dark green with pink flowers and green leaves - but here it is overwhelming:
2. Using a white on white background looks good but also looks like every one else's.
3. So I decided to add a bit of the floral in place of all the white and I think I have the winner!
Time to start sewing the pieces together! Although it's not yet a finish, I thought I would link up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Fridays.
I agree! That's a great compromise. It's going to be a beautiful finish!

ReplyDeleteHa! The first one was too much, the second too little, but the third one is just right! I like the design you've come up with, it looks so good. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have done very well on your different options - yes, number three is the winner! It just goes to show that we may well have an idea in our head, but when you start putting it all together, it just doesn't quite gell. It's a great compromise.
