Yesterday everyone decided to give me an early Christmas present. The little ones took a 3 1/2 afternoon nap and the older ones enjoyed some unsupervised craft time :) Which meant I was able to finish my Twister. This is a gift I am trying to finish up by Christmas. However, when I finished I was not quite as happy with my results. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it or anything, I had just planned for a brown row, a brown-pink row, and then a pink row to pop. The pink row really pops but the brown-pink row just blended to much with the brown row. You know when it just doesn't quite turn out the way you had seen it in your head :)
So . . . . I grabbed the remaining pieces from the Heidi Grace pile and decided to use the tan brown instead of the brown I used previously. I didn't use it initially because it has the same print as one of the brown prints but I think I can handle that if it makes a greater distinction between rows. So this is what I will be working on today :)
Hey...I think the pink and brown one looks FABULOUS!!! As long as you get a good two-color contrast, a twister piece looks great...and you achieved that with this. Yes...it's not what you had wanted...a 3-color contrast, but this one is perfectly wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic. Well done ( and well done getting your children to sleep 3 1/2 hours)
ReplyDeleteIt really is gorgeous! But now you'll have two quilts!
