As you can see from this photo, I was a bit discombobulated by my work. I kept at it, but while there was something I liked, there was more I didn't like. People kept telling me it was good. That was nice, honestly, but I have to be happy from the inside. So I decided to put the whole thing on the design wall when I got home.
On the design board waiting for a plan |
For example, I'll bring the SLW quilt pieces (that's my name for it for now) and tell the group I plan to bring it to a completed quilt top for the March meeting. Then in March I should commit to finishing the quilt for April.
Reworking part 1 |
I played and ripped and moved and added and subtracted and all sorts of crazy things for about three days. Then I read a couple of posts on the AHIQ blog and found the answer. Back to the design board, but with a plan I liked. Funny how a plan makes such a difference.

At this point (ready to go to the guild meeting) I have long strips of improv pieces that will be arranged in Chinese coins fashion. I've chosen a neutral brownish gray beige oddity for the background.

Well done sticking with it and solving the problem. Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees. I hope you enjoy the end result.
Wow, Mary! I just love this! I like how you have balanced out the different components from your original bits and the way the hourglasses work in the mix. And the colours. Nice job!
I agree Karen. I like a challenge sometimes, especially when everyone else seems to see something there. I really like what I have right now, so I feel safe in saying the end is near. Let's hope at least.
Thanks Kaja. I think I'm on the right track. AHIQ gets the credit for handing over the answer. Funny how we can go back to a beginning to figure out an end. It seems that the Chinese coins challenge was quite a while ago (2018 maybe) but here it is again playing with the hourglass challenge.
