It looked pretty janky. <br /><br />I know what you mean about feeling out of step, though. Of the quilts from QuiltCon15 that I've spied online (admittedly, a very small sample), I haven't seen anything that felt like, WOW! to me.lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430655234625464479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-50844914009070876582015-02-27T08:53:28.534-08:002015-02-27T08:53:28.534-08:00Wow, amazing the different reaction I have to the ...Wow, amazing the different reaction I have to the original quilt. I completely and totally love it, just as it is. I love the casual corners. To me it is lively and graphic. Whereas the new version is okay, but not surprising or grabbing. Yes, yet more proof that I am totally out of step with the quilt majority.Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-69067973198859839712015-02-25T07:49:33.817-08:002015-02-25T07:49:33.817-08:00Thank you, Lotje!

I think I'd rather destroy it than have it sitting in a pile, all folded up failure.<br /><br />And I appreciate your kind shifting of perspective with the new design. Restful and interesting in a different way. Liking that, thanks!lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430655234625464479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-10756711534750999402015-02-25T07:42:51.831-08:002015-02-25T07:42:51.831-08:00Thanks, Karen!

I've impressed by Anni Albers work, and still am, and even so, I totally understand and even more admire the boldness of your solution & your new quilt!LOTJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611824614722096394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-33153026748393568102015-02-21T07:23:19.221-08:002015-02-21T07:23:19.221-08:00Kudos for taking the time to rip apart your HSTs, ...Kudos for taking the time to rip apart your HSTs, wow. Not sure I could have done that, but when the energy of inspiration hits, there's no telling what a quiltist can do. Listening to an interesting show surely helps.<br /><br />The new design seems like one of those restful ones between what you call "more interesting" ones, like your spiderwebs. I'd argue that it's just interesting in a different way. But you know way more about that than I.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520877991255181281.post-24058577066184710272015-02-19T19:11:26.056-08:002015-02-19T19:11:26.056-08:00I LOVE what you have done- and this design avoids ...I LOVE what you have done- and this design avoids the frustration of trying to perfectly match corners too.

I can't believe you ripped apart all those HSTs! <br />The colors don't bother me -- though I'm not seeing them I'm real life -- the casual corners might have been hard to accept, but taking it all apart! Looks like a happy save!<br />p.s. I'll be seeing your quilts tomorrow!smazoochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716977786728589960noreply@blogger.com
