No Ugly Flowers (the Flimsy)

.We have a flimsy!!

I decided to go with my original plan and let the blocks sing on their own.

I wanted to let their flower status be within the eye of the beholder

and I wanted people to notice the text in the back ground fabric.

Seeing the top sewn together, I'm thankful I made that choice.

Thank you for such great comments yesterday!

You made some excellent observations

and it was interesting to read your responses and points of view.

KISS . . .

What story do you want to tell . . .

Bullseyes . . .

Too dark . . . 

Distracting . . .

The blocks shine without but become back ground with . . .

All valid points.

(A couple of you are no-reply bloggers,

so I was unable to respond to your comments.)

Sunshine and shadow pose - the clouds kept blocking the sun

I wasn't planning to add a border, 

but all those seam edges needed to be protected

(stay stitching wasn't quite enough)

so I added a 1.5" strip of the leafy green binding batik.

The colorfully scrappy back is also pieced.

Thank you, Sujata

for writing your wonderful book!

I've finished two quilt tops so far

and there's another waiting in the wings.
