Back up. Today my progress on the seahorse quilt was to remove the narrow blue batik border. I was going to add a much wider border but decided that that would make the tight cluster of seahorses look weird. Seahorses are solitary animals, so this quilt is weird enough. Instead, I will make the border slightly larger, but measured so the diamonds in the second border run around the corners neatly.
And with the seahorses off the design wall, I had my first opportunity to see the Gridlock blocks all together. I have definitely veered toward the dark side and will need the next handful of blocks to be lighter.
I get what you mean about the seahorses. The look very thrilled to be surrounded by just diamonds.

ReplyDeleteI love the seahorses! Alas, sometimes we have to see a product to realize a design idea isn't working. Hope the next idea works for you.
