Okay, so this is what I had in my head.
Except this photo looks very washed out. The quilt is much more vibrant. I’ll take a next pic on a different background.
It just wasn’t speaking to me. I laid it out a couple days ago and just looked at it and replaced neutral hexies until I got the consistency I wanted. But, it didn’t say anything.
This morning, I decided to change it.
Now, it speaks to me.
Just that little bit of a reversal was all it took.
Rob took another video of the garden the other day. Another three and a half minute walk through, to see what started blooming.
This was a week and a half ago and of course, it looks completely different now. We had a limb cut from the tree in the back yard and my shade garden has suddenly gone to part sun. Fingers crossed that all works out.
Have a great Thursday. I woke up thinking it was Friday and was so disappointed when the news announced the day and date.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can focus on work, because I’m in a really creative time, and my mind keeps drifting to quilting.
Or maybe it’s that things are so stressful at work right now, I have to escape to happy thoughts about quilting.

A few weeks ago on a Tuesday I was sure it was Friday. It's such a depressing day after that.
we're off out tonight to a music gig which I chose and yet I yearn to stay home and sew diamonds. I worry about me sometimes!
Oh, yes! I see how arranging the border around the central hexies with more neutral space really opens up the design, and lets the flowers be the focus. I am enjoying your process with this one, seeing how you're not locked into an idea, and how you audition other looks.
I think changing the positions of the greens and neutrals made a big difference in your hexie project. I like it a lot. Good luck with the 'shade' garden. We're heading for 111 this weekend and I would kill for some shade....some COOL shade. Keep smiling.
It is interesting how one tiny swap in color placement can make such a difference! I really love option too, as well.

I love the difference that the reverse color option makes here, it really shows off the "flowers" in the hex patterns.
What a beautiful yard. I wish I had such dedication (and a fence to keep the 'varments' from eating everything). Nice work!
