The quilt was a beautiful group of dog item fabrics in long stripes with a huge golden retriever dog appliqued in a corner. I chose a bunch of cool bright fabrics that looked fun and kid-like. I was pleased. When I got my stripes made the brights totally overwhelmed the fabrics I wanted to make the dog out of. I was NOT pleased.So I tossed the stripes into a corner. And there they sat. For maybe another two years. I got the idea to cut them up into quarters and tone them down with the black. I think I must have seen an Amish quilt or something. Well, this did not turn out to look Amish-like at all. I was not pleased. So it got tossed into another corner.
It surfaced over the years, from time to time. And I would smile at it and put it back into yet another corner. This happened, oh, maybe 8 or 10 times. Then I found it again this week when I was cleaning out my "corner" which now is most of the center of the room AND the two corners. OK, THREE corners.
And I decided to to a hatchet job on it. I want to chop it up! I figure there is no loss if it turns out ugly as sin, right? It wasn't a favorite before. So maybe it will improve a bit even.
With the 15 Minutes Play Group under my wings inspiring me onward and upward....who KNOWS what I will be capable of.
So sit back and see what happens. OK? And if you have any suggestions, add them to the pile. Like I said, it can't get any worse! LOL.
