The previous post shows the dimensions of the design, this time I've decided which fabric will go where. I'm finding the entire design process to be both fun and challenging. So far I'm liking this larger quilt project.
I had this design concept when I ordered the fabric but wasn't really sure how much yardage to buy so of course I played it safe and ordered too much. But that's OK since it is all beautiful and I will have a fabulous stash for future projects. When I ordered this lot I didn't realize that the Large Fairy print was as big a print as it is. I had thought to use it as the central border but when I saw it in person I preferred the flower print. I only ordered a 1/2 yard of the flower print which wasn't quite enough, so I added the rectangles in the border using the Large Fairy fabric. I improvised. I heard an artist say lately, sorry can't remember the source, but they said if he knows ahead of time how the project will be exactly then it isn't worth creating. I agree. There has to be room for the creative process, something unexpected to emerge in the process of making something.
