I removed these two
"sticky-outie" blocks;
[thanks, Lizzie, for your
good "eye" on these]
and I
made these to mix in...
INSTEAD
⇊⇊⇊

In particular those yellows --
I think they balance out the
rest better???
What do you think..??
I mean it definitely is
A MELANGE!!
😅
This is not the final
set up; they are just up on
the wall so I
can re-arrange them--
about a gazillion times!!
;))))
In particular those yellows --
could they be corner holders?
Or in a diagonal
going down the length?
Or just sprinkled haphazardly?
I can see my dreams will be filled
with the final possible arrangement.
Do you "sleep on it"?
My Grand-mere used to
suggest doing that
about any
problem or question...

The blocks look more cohesive without the two you took out. I like to put them on my design wall and look at them for a day or two. It can be a lengthy process but it works out better that way. I've also done it quickly and wished I hadn't!
ReplyDeleteI like the changes you made, Julierose.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I am always sleeping on any problem, but sometimes I have insomnia...
Arrange and re-arrange the blocks will be a lot of fun, till you find the lay out that makes your heart sing.
I like the fabric combinations you used. I don't use a design wall and rarely loose sleep over quilt layouts. I don't like to dither about that. I don't think anyone puts a quilt on the wall after it is made to look at it. Well, unless it is a wall quilt then I guess it does make a difference.
ReplyDeleteBut I do sleep on it....problems, that is. I usually think about the problem before I go to sleep and most of the time a solution comes to me in the morning. Used to work even when I was going to college and had a tough computer programming problem as well as later in life when I got a computer programming job.
Yes, I "sleep" on quilt decisions a lot!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you but I can sit and contemplate my navel over arrangements of things and finally decide it's good, put it all together, and then notice something I totally overlooked before.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun block, and I love the colors. I always sleep on it. I'm a big believer in letting the sleeping mind wonder to places our conscious minds won't go. I'v solved a lot of problems that way! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't mind those 2 blocks in the mix yesterday but the 2 new ones are more matchy with the rest. It is going to be a pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get just the right amount of rain.
They look lovely together, however you arrange them.
ReplyDeleteI thought the blocks were fine with the green but seeing them without the green, I think they look better.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow are really strong blocks to my eyes but, strangely, the lightest one, upper right, seems to disappear in the corner.
I think it's going to be interesting to watch what happens to these blocks, Julierose. There are so many considerations--colors, color combinations, lights, darks.... Enjoy!
Oh this is growing nicely!!
ReplyDeleteYour melange quilt is wonderful - I think the changes you made are perfect.
ReplyDeletexo
This assortment of blocks looks wonderful together! I like the yellows sprinkled in.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many decisions that I should have 'slept on' and didn't with regret LOL. Maybe the 'stickie-outie' blocks can be incorporated into the backing somehow.
ReplyDeleteThere comes a time when you have to quit fussing and just sew. You'll know when that moment occurs.
ReplyDeleteI love the replacement blocks, they make a beautiful melange. I also very much like the set up you have as-is but if it's fun to rearrange, well, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a design wall area, usually use my imagination and maybe a photo or two. I did make more space on my desk to pay out Giraffe's Hourglass blocks but I still made mistakes and the points do not match after all, lol.
Sometimes I will lay out border or sashings overnite--I had one project, every night I'd do a layout and decide Yes! Then in the morning, Nope, ick. Went on for a month or more, so silly. In its defense it is a wall quilt.
looks like fun happenings, enjoy!
Looking lovely with the changes
ReplyDeleteThose changes look good to me
ReplyDeleteI think they all look great
