FIRST COIN TOSS PROCESS/WAITING

Here are are few "in progress"
pictures of my coin strips...
My first trial of adding wonky separator
strips,
THIS SAT THERE FOR A
LONG WHILE.....















AND THEN......................

Here, after much thought and fiddling about,  a bit wider..with the curved separator strips.....
I do like the organic
look of these a lot.....

NEXT: came this.........

Trial borders...................really really dark though......and I didn't like the abruptness
of the coins to the very dark strips at all and, so more waiting and fiddling-----------
to this:

Nope, didn't like it....something is still out of whack, doesn't feel right...

AND: finally...AHHH-HAAA...

                                                                Y E S !!

I added some small outer light strips on left and right to ease the change to the dark outer strips --I hoped

...and then added :

the top and bottom mottled fabric  which picks up that little mini strip in the center.
(can you see that little jewel pieced strippy?)
..this fabric was what began the whole thing; and strangely I only used a little bit...but I like how it livens up the others....

And finally my dark surround..  

I think I like it as is. 

My object was a trial, small Improv piece.  And to see if I liked the process--all about process for me...and I find that despite the slowness of this process, I liked
fiddling around and doing a little bit at a time.  I had to take many breaks--and sit and stare at it a lot....moving this, moving that, trying out....

And so this stands...but I think I'm done with this one...my first
 Coin Toss:-- "Midnight Garden".;)))

And with hubby in hospital still, I used my sewing as therapy for worry....
So, perhaps this darkish piece reflects my state of mind, I wonder...

I am on my way up with a "care package" later this morning.  gosh, the house feels so
quiet and empty with him gone....we are hoping he will be able to come home
tomorrow...
I want to thank you all for your prayers and the good wishes you've sent us--they are appreciated more than you'll ever know...♬

Star Rise is on being pin basted now a little at a time...

(Missing Mom during this step a lot. She used to help me with all my pinning--many hands make shorter work!)...

deciding how to hand quilt this one..
I would love to try a Baptist fan in each block maybe--or overall...hmmmm
hugs to you all
