Sometimes a vision just doesn't come out as planned. This project was going to be 2 quilts. I fell in love with the turquoise print at a quilt shop, and bought it and a few friends. Got home, and realized I didn't have enough fabric, so I supplemented with some purple and turquoise from my stash. I absolutely loved the colours, piled up on my table. But putting the quilt together, it's just a bit much, I think.
The other "half" of the project was triangles with dark stripes on the end - which was supposed to be a second quilt. I carefully sized all my bits so they'd be the right dimensions to donate. But now I don't like either one in the original form.
My friends suggested combining them all, like I did for my
practice sample a few months ago. So I tried that out.
I'm definitely much happier with this layout. It's still a lot of purple/turquoise, but the dark bands seems to help it.
