Here’s the donation quilt that resulted from following one of Sherri Lynn Wood’s “scores” as it originally turned out. I didn’t much like it. As several friends pointed out, there wasn’t anywhere for the eye to rest!
This came from following one of Sherri Lynn Wood’s “scores”
I got some great suggestions from readers and other friends. I considered them all and finally used EQ7 (the Electric Quilt design program) to draft a layout. I removed the borders and cut the center into 9 equal blocks, each 10″ square. I loved Wanda’s idea to make the blocks different sizes with frames, but I was afraid the design already suffered from too much “creativity” so I didn’t do it.

Checking my stash, I came up with these options for sashing. I guess if I’d wanted a “really” modern quilt I’d have chosen the gray 😉

I chose the marine blue because it calmed things down without making them dull. I’m pleased with the result.

Thanks to everyone who provided input about what to do with this!

That worked well!
Thank you. It was a relief!
That blue worked well! At our guild meeting on color, it was suggested that we consider navy a neutral. Blue is very versatile.
Indeed, “neutral” is open to interpretation! Our guild used a bright yellow-green as the background on a group quilt. Opinions varied as to its beauty 😀
well, how creative of you! looks good!
Thanks! We’re watching Jenna on Facebook–looks like Sebastian will be here soon!
It looks great. The blue was the perfect color. And each block is a work of art.
Thanks! And thanks for reading 😊
