In looking at the Gifts... It's kind of...Lane,<br /><br />In looking at the Gifts... It's kind of hard to see them, to know specifically, but maybe if you reduced the number of gifts to half of what is there, and make each remaining gift larger (to insure you have enough quilting) maybe that would separate them enough to eliminate the appearance of a bunch of straight lines in your quilt...<br /><br />Another thing to consider... Are you going to use a bright gold or some other bright thread that will make the quilting obvious? Or are you going to use a green that will blend well with the quilt? Or, you could do both... Use a bright on the lights and ornaments to accentuate the curves in the quilting, and use a green on the trees and packages. You could set them in opposing quadrants with gold on the left and right, green on the top and bottom, or you could quilt on point and have gold in upper left and bottom right and green in upper right and bottom left.<br /><br />Just a few ideas. You could also simply make the bows on the gifts much larger and make it more about the bows and less about the gifts...<br /><br />No matter what you do, it looks great so far, so I am sure it will look great when you are done!<br /><br />PaulPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624140507953560723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-9808300976818724462011-04-01T10:46:41.806-05:002011-04-01T10:46:41.806-05:00That's going to be so pretty! Hope you make g...That's going to be so pretty! Hope you make good progress! Our biggest April Fools' joke is that it is supposed to be Spring.....and we have 3+ inches of snow this morning! You might wake up one morning and find a pitiful waif from W. Va. sitting on your porch in a highly needed quest to find some warm weather and sun! Don't be frightened....it's just me!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.com
