Only I have a problem with it. To me it is not balanced, which might sound like a weird thing to say about this quilt. If you look at the close ups of the edges of the quilt shown above you will see that the large 'circle' hexie on the left is one full hexie from the edge of the quilt. The one on the left is right on the edge. I do not like that.
I thought about doing half hexies all down the right side and then adding two rows of full hexies and then the half hexies on the left. Instead I have decided to chop off half a hexie all down the right side and only add a row of full hexies and then the half hexies on the left. Make sense?
So not that much more to piece really. And you can see that the large hexie circle on the left will now be half a hexie away from the edge. This makes me happy. Happy is good.
And that has been today. Hexie cutting, basting and sewing. Sure beats yesterday. Nice and peaceful and not a call centre putting me on hold anywhere to be seen. Woohoo!

Good decision missus! Glad you are having a better day! Jxo
ReplyDeleteIt's coming together nicely.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, it's lovely! I like your new plan to finish it. As before, it would bug me too. ;-) But beautiful work!
ReplyDeletedon't overthink it, it looks great
ReplyDeleteIt's looking really good. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to get into a dentist. The Jurassic era was faster!! It would have been quicker to fly to Oz & back. Maybe I should have investigated France??

Amazaballs what our brains go through trying to restructure designs with teeny bits of fabric. But fun! Glad your day was better!
ReplyDeleteI never would have noticed that big hexie trying to escape from the left but you're so right! It looks SO much better with the additional row of LVs framing it. Smart lady :)
