Thank you, Ola! You rescued my poor, weak corners!
I thought that the corners were weak. I had to make each corner F clef "heart" this size to keep the clef sizes in correct proportion to each other. I was thinking of adding a flower or some fruit to build up each corner.
Ola suggested something in keeping with the rest of the swags. She told me to go home and make paper dolls - fold some paper and start cutting/auditioning some motifs. She's brilliant! I love how she suggested an old technique that was often used in designing Baltimore album style quilts.
My interview from the AQS show finally showed up on YouTube's QuiltTV...nothing like a long car trip and a poor night's sleep to make one fresh and perky for an on-camera interview!
Today I am basting, basting, basting. Did anyone watch the new PBS Masterpiece Classic "Mr. Selfridge" last night?

I first saw your quilt in Lancaster. It is a wonderful quilt in everyday. Then I happened on your blog, via another blog and so forth. I thought to myself " wow, I saw that quilt!" Then I saw the video. You were great and it was nice to hear your description about how and why, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love hand appliqué and crave to do more. I too enjoy all the British classic shows. I love Netflix and the fact that they have so many of the classics from when I was a kid. The original upstairs downstairs is great.
Thanks for sharing.
