I've been playing around with EQ and have come up with a couple of colorways that I'm pondering. The background fabric that I've used for the baskets is a white on cream. For all these many years I've always thought I'd set the blocks in black. But while I was playing with the layout it suddenly dawned on me to try the opposite of black. So I'm thinking creams and off whites might be the way to go.
Now you have to pretend the block backgrounds are cream instead of grey. And I couldn't get them to rotate the way they should be but I think you can get the idea.

I was immediately drawn to the cream and black! I really like the dimension of the black...
ReplyDeleteReally nice blocks, BTW
I think I like option #2 best. It keeps the embroidery as the star, but gives it a bit of punch.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the blocks! That must feel good. I like the idea of the lighter setting. Either will look stunning. Can't wait to see what you end up doing.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOHHHH!!! Beautiful blocks!! I like the second setting - VERY dramatic! I think that - if you have always thought of setting it in black - and then you set it in cream instead - it may never look "right" to you. Just my two cents - ;))
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteFabulous blocks!
I think the black setting is more dramatic, but the lighter setting might feature the handwork blocks better?
