Dark blacks and light lights.<br />Then medium colors for the rest. I didn't put any dark or light blues in with my blues, only mediums. <br />Where she has black, you've used a medium (blue) so you lose a lot of definition.<br />This quilt has way too many pieces for me and I got tired of it. It's now all bundled into a box while I work on something with bigger pieces.Barb in Smithershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556966339140209758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-28094123875785223302012-01-05T01:31:27.267+11:002012-01-05T01:31:27.267+11:00very nice !!!

I think that the yellow really brought them from their shyness and I think that they would make a lovely quilt with more definition that you might think with your sample. Mine is busy, but I'm seeing definition now that I have a larger piece. Only you can decide if you are happy or not, but I love them with the yellow.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-8946434059840911922012-01-04T03:14:14.817+11:002012-01-04T03:14:14.817+11:00I am having blending with my lighter blues also. ...I am having blending with my lighter blues also.

I wasn't really happy when I just did a couple, but the more I laid out, the better the definition got. I really like your colors. So sorry you aren't happy with them.

Your dark blocks look good, but there does appear to be less contrast in the light blocks:( I hope you can salvage all that sewing for a different project.

O que talvez esteja te desagradando mais, foi na hora de juntar os blocos. As cores dos tecidos não favoreceram as estrelas. Que tal optar por cores mais claras? as estrelas ficarão em maior evidência. <br />Beijos e um Feliz Quilt 2012Glória Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641573384345782575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-41971694385166394602012-01-03T05:24:30.714+11:002012-01-03T05:24:30.714+11:00I feel the same as you.

I think using all the strip blocks made it a little to busy. Since i haven't sone many of the red strip blocks I might try subbing in a Red Fabric to be a constant in the quilt. I think this will help to pop out the Ohie=o Star blocks a little better.Yankee Valley Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343639425372163070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086085284131813367.post-60110973965469121442012-01-02T23:52:35.187+11:002012-01-02T23:52:35.187+11:00Maybe it's not your fault.
