My work is not perfection. It is a little more organic. Since this was a small piece I just started in one corner and then worked my way back and forth across it. Kind of like stippling an area.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-38457717198293036022014-10-18T22:11:03.268-04:002014-10-18T22:11:03.268-04:00I just use white fabric so that my colors stay cle...I just use white fabric so that my colors stay clear. Nothing treated, but it has to be 100% cotton. I finished the edges the way I always do with the pinked rotary cut strip and fuse it in place before I stitch it down. Thankfully I was able to bind it with white fabric without covering any of the circles.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-7956726097516505442014-10-18T22:04:40.825-04:002014-10-18T22:04:40.825-04:00I'm glad you found me.

I had to charge it up and kept trying to take photo's but it was contrary. Finally, I got my photo and posted it at 11:03, but it said 12:03 since it is set up on Eastern time. Sigh. The last 2 posting days have been super busy work weeks for me. I'll keep trying to post earlier.

I have been making my own as I journey further in to surface design. <br />I have been trying to embrace the white and understand the use of negative space with limited success. <br />Thanks for the process picture which shares your working supplies.

I agree with Sara that the "in process" photo was great! A perfect example of "a picture is worth a thousand words!" Just a few questions, though--such as what sort of fabric, how finished along the edges, etc. But anyway--a quilt that is eye-candy, for sure!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-20602524225236685982014-10-16T02:01:14.310-04:002014-10-16T02:01:14.310-04:00I loved it, you know how much I like dots and thes...I loved it, you know how much I like dots and these are my colors.

Your image of the work in process certainly describes the process. I always have a problem with getting carried away on quilting - I think you were nicely restrained!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236884861296764244noreply@blogger.com
