Quilt Reveal – Star Dance Quilt #3
My latest Star Dance quilt is finished.
Here is the thing about this quilt. ย It always starts out so lovely. ย I’ve picked a nice color palette, great fabrics. ย I love the blocks while they are being made, and then once the quilt is on the design wall, I start thinking, “Ugh.”
It’s been this way with everyone of them that I made. ย And I’m always thinking that something is just not quite right with this design.
But I’ve figured out what’s bugging me. ย It does have pretty blocks. ย See them here. ย They are sooooo pretty. ย So why does it not look good on the design wall?
I think it’s because the blocks get lost. ย They are not distinct. ย My eye is not sure where one starts and one ends.
Amiright? ย Maybe I should use sashing (ugh, I hate using sashing)? ย But seriously, I think that would make me love this quilt design more.
This quilt is a custom order, and I keep selling it, so it’s hard for me to change it now.
Maybe I’ll remove it from the shop until I can make one with some borders.
