Diabolical Jane is laid out in quadrants that are built like half log cabin blocks.
I'm laying pieces out on my cutting table, and when I get one quadrant I like, I'll put tall four up on the design wall.
I swear, I'm obsessed with this project! Every time I walk past it I have to stop and move something around. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle - just one more piece. No wait, how about this? no...
Since I'm laying out only one quadrant to start with, I pulled out my hinged mirrors to try to get a sense of what four quadrants would look like.
Not really very helpful. The mirrors aren't big enough to go far enough out to show more of the whole layout.
I'm thinking of eliminating the light and bright aqua prints, too distracting. I may actually repeat one or two of the other prints already used. We'll see. More cutting, playing, and rearranging to come. And I'm sure when I have one satisfactory quadrant and put all four on the wall, I'll need to tweak some more.
Projects with lots of color are so much harder to select the fabrics for. You've got a good start with your selections.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like this is a fun challenge for you. Being able to see the fabrics together from different perspectives - on your cutting table, on the design wall, in a photograph - are all hopefully giving you new insights.
