I ended up going with option 5 ie. finishing it off with the same grey as the top grey.
I don't think there will be that much grey at the bottom when all is said and done, but I envision a lot of quilting on this piece, which will shrink it so I'm leaving a lot extra in for the time being.
It's also taken a bit of a departure from my inspiration photo and design so the name is 'leaving' a lot to be desired. Ha ha. I'll be trying to think of a new name. Any suggestions?
Started pulling some threads...liking it so far.
I'm also thinking that I'd like to add some hand stitching. Yes, you heard me. Hand stitching. Moi! Should be interesting ;)
Have a great weekend! It's snowing here...
Really intriguing the design path you are on with this piece. I see an Arctic Sunset myself. Looking forward to seeing your continued progression!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking sunset too, but African for some reason ; )
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
Ha, ha; that makes three! I also thought sunset on water! "Sunset ripple" to be precise, although, coming from the UK, that sounds like ice cream.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece - I am looking forward to seeing the quilting. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have any ideas for the name, but I love the piece! I cannot wait to see how you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteI just love this design. Can't wait to see how you quilt it!
ReplyDeleteSunset waves. Looked like the sunset on the ocean. Look forward to seeing the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteI still see layers of leaves. it kind of reminds me of the way they drift down from side to side as they fall to the ground on a still day (i.e. no wind) The grey background definitely says November to me.
ReplyDeleteNice!!!
ReplyDeletesunrise fog... that's sometimes what it looks like.

ReplyDeleteLove it!
