So the DWR design insanity is (sort of) officially under way, but one question remains: traditional or modern?
Lucky for me, there's nearly a month left to decide while all the (tiny) pieces literally come together ;)
And okay, obviously it's not so under way that the diamond shape is set in stone. If by chance seeing this has changed your mind since that little old "round vs. square" poll, please (please!) chime in! Or, if you stand by your round cut vote, speak up, too. ...If only so that I have some positive vibes to keep me going when I'm on the 40th of eighty-one 4⅛" diamonds. ('Das right, CRAZY's in da {house} :D).
Linking up with Lee ;) Happy Wednesday, friends!
P.S. Thank you all for your overwhelmingly kind comments about my muted forest quilt, which mysteriously slipped through a linky loophole over at Amy's Creative Side and wound up in the Viewer's Choice vote. (Pinch me!?) I have massive respect for the 23 other artists whose work is hanging in that group, and I do hope you'll head on over to peruse the offerings and cast your vote for the pieces that catch your eye.
...Oh, and it's a slightly addicting showcase, so be prepared to stay awhile ;)
Ooh I can't wait to see how this comes together! And I'm no help on the round vs square - I think both look lovely. Whatever you go with will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. That is going to be quite an undertaking! Congrats on the quilt festival!
ReplyDeleteLoving where this is going!! And i'm still firmly round... though i do love the square, but no, round! Yes round. Or square, i'm obviously no help, but what ever you choose it's going to be fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow, this looks amazing! I'm a round brilliant diamond girl most of the time, but I think I prefer the princess cut diamonds in your sketch. Cannot wait to see more of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is amazing. Going to be so fabulous! I vote round! Just with those big sweeping curves of the DWR the round fits so well. But then the diamond/square is a nice juxaposition... No. Round. My vote is definitely round :-)
ReplyDeleteE xx
Oh my goodness you are insane, lol. You really like to challenge yourself don't you. Anyway I'm looking forward dropping my jaws once you reveal your masterpiece. Go, go, go!
ReplyDeleteLovely oakshotts. This quilt will be very special. I vote for round!
ReplyDeleteMysteriously slipped through? Yep you are certifiably crazy. Your forest is pure brilliance I tell you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I vote round and I absolutely can't WAIT to see this one!
Can't wait to see your progress on this. I think it will be gorgeous either way, but I say go round!
ReplyDeleteI'm a brilliant cut kinda girl. And holy oakshott, batman! It's gonna look, well, breathtaking! I honestly don't know how you have such patience for such tiny piecing! And how about "modern traditional"?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving seeing this developing.what beautiful madness!
ReplyDeleteDude. I can't wait to see what you do with this. :) And I think the diamonds will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think the round is always beautiful.. However, I do think the square/diamond shape may work better on a large scale quilt as the facets are a little more apparent, the round might fade into the background and blend. With those gorgeous fabrics and your skills, whatever you do is sure to be perfect :)
ReplyDeleteAre you excited for the upcoming fashion week! We can't wait to see how we look wearing clothes like this your choice should be fresh spins on classics like the Ucla Ovo Grey Hoodie
