I've been laying all these out, trying different combinations of dark/light, prints/colors, etc. Not sure the pattern interplay between the blocks comes out very well using all prints together like this, so I might have to end up cutting hand-dyed solids to go with all the prints. I think the blocks that have prints with close-to-solids read much better. But I probably need to lay out even more to see what the overall effect is with a bigger selection.
So hmmmm.
More thinking about this one is in order. I don't want to go to all the work of piecing this thing and not even be able to see the pattern you know? So it might be a matter of laying this out very carefully instead of sewing it all randomly together (which is of course my first and admittedly lazy instinct). What do you think?
You have done a good job matching up colors, but I agree. Perhaps we will need to cut a constant to show off the windmill? We can discuss and see if it is something we can do together to make the cutting go faster.
