Choices

The speciality stitches are almost complete so I've been playing with some bull's eye blocks from another project to just get an idea of how I would like to layout circles before cutting into more batik fabrics.

Symmetry

This piece is way too symmetrical

for my taste but I'm not sure what to do.

I've tired buttons in the corners

of each block - too symmetrical.

I've considered fabric circles in the corners

of each block - too symmetrical.

And I still want to add a verse.

I would be thankful for suggestions.

Decorative Stitching

After marking the arrangement of these fused squares
with masking tape,
decorative stitches were begun to add more color.
But, since it's distorting some of the squares,
I decided to fuse the arrangement to the batting
before completing the decorative stitching.

Traveling Project

When preparing to travel without my sewing machine recently, I cut 6 x 6 inch squares of Wonder Under fusible web, gathered the thin batik strip remnants from Cindy's recent project and placed it in a plastic bag. I knew an iron would be available when I arrived. However, since we were so busy during the visit, I'm just now getting to this project now that I'm home.

Thanks for the remnants Cindy.

Buttons Or Not?

Machine quilting is complete.

Would button embellishments be too much?

Would another type of embellishment be better?
