Back to Drawing Board




So Mitzie finally politely admitted that she doesn't like the pattern below (the hidden nine patch). "Something with more symmetry." I'm not surprised. I only did this because it was so quick, but to be honest, i don't like it much myself. This is actually good news, because now that it's no longer a quilt for Mitzie, i can use green (thumbs down on the green earlier). My plan is to recombine these little blocks with light green sashing, to give it more orderliness and a more interesting palette, and then donate it. My earliest idea was to do something like above with white sashing, but i realized there wouldn't be enough contrast between the white and the lavender. I don't know if Quilts of Valor have to be red white and blue, but if not, i thought the pattern above might be nice for a girl soldier. Anyway, that's the plan.
