As you may recall, I challenged myself with the Bonnie Hunter mystery "Grassy Creek" to alter the colours. It is not that I disliked Bonnie's picks - in fact, I loved them - but I was using 2020 as the year I stretched my boundaries with colour design.
As I started seeing the final pieces of the mystery coming together, I grew more and more unsure of my choices. I decide to put a corner of the quilt together, just to see how badly I had messed things up. I was already starting to plan on downsizing this from the full size to a lap quilt. Keep putting that corner together, I would tell myself. Maybe I would just donate it and hope no one noticed I "forgot" to put my name on it. Don't give up yet, just a little further and then you can decide, I would hear between my ears.
I have not even finished putting it together, but was far enough along that I started to see what was coming as I laid these partially assembled pieces on the floor. Perspective is EVERYTHING. I have not even finished assembling this corner, and my feelings about this quilt have already changed. It is not what I expected, nor what I envisioned with this project, but the result is shaping up to be something wonderful.
What do you think?
