It breaks up the design a bit and adds some additional liveliness and interest.<br /><br />From everything I've seen of your work I think it is strongest when you let yourself be free and don't try to be too precise and regular. That's when your work seems to be most alive and compelling. If I felt able to give any advice it would be to say not to try for an absolutely perfect neat finish but to go for rhythm and colour and liveliness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204385349190602874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-44225779737482027652012-10-19T08:56:30.445+01:002012-10-19T08:56:30.445+01:00Hi Jill.

It has inspired me to try and work through processes and want to start keeping a sketchbook. I am making an ordinary quilt at the moment, log cabin style, but your designs have blown me away! I love the chimneys and how tou are translating them to your quilt. The colours are beautiful, and each stage is exciting. I hope you manage to get your turquoise dyes you want, my favourite colours! The bag too is scrumptious, lovely use of colour. I can't wait to see the next bit! xBarb Cadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476278647265845823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-38908833715181131732012-10-19T00:13:47.087+01:002012-10-19T00:13:47.087+01:00I have turned off word verification as it is a pai...I have turned off word verification as it is a pain - I'll see if I get spam on not!

You seem to be really thinking this through in such a considered way and I think the chimneys are a fantastic source of inspiration. The coloured strips remind me of the colours used by Bethan Ash and I can see them in a bag. The thing I love the most is the real pleasure and enjoyment you are getting from this course. The joy in it resonates thorugh your posts!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-74911016580235849552012-10-18T16:21:25.654+01:002012-10-18T16:21:25.654+01:00Your artwork is wonderful Jill...I especially love...Your artwork is wonderful Jill...I especially love your sketchbook challenge page (great wellies! ;-) )<br />and your design for the quilt is truly fabulous.

Do show us when you've finished won't you?<br /><br />I think your chimney inspired quilt will be fabulous too - and that's a great idea to print the designs on the squares - I had thought you were going to applique them (some job that would be wouldn't it?) However you could do one or two here and there as applique to add extra texture if you fancied couldn't you? Or maybe not? Not knowing what the criteria are for this quilt I have no other ideas to suggest but I am sure there will be those better qualified than I who will have some suggestions for you.Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.com
