Ok, this is what I’ve decided on. I don’t think I ever made a quilt so balanced. I think that was what was throwing me off. So I was trying to unbalance it by putting the plaid to the right. But I think this quilt has more of an impact this way. So I’m breaking my own rules. Jackie said her husband was a fan of Jasper Johns, I wonder how he felt about symmetry.
You got it, Maria. I think the black and white check in the center corresponds so well with the other linear aspects. Wonderful!
I can’t help it, I need symmetry, so I think this is the right one. I admit that after seeing what you do with your designs, I appreciate the “wilder” patterns and am more willing to pull away from too much symmetry. You inspire all of us!
I think the symmetry really enhances the manliness of the quilt. Maybe it is just that my own mind tends to be so disorganized that I am very drawn to symmetry! I love all your pictures and explanations of the whole process you experienced getting to the end result of your design. Annie
Love this without the plaid on the right. True – it’s very symmetrical. But it works beautifully.
White balance? Is there such a thing?
I’m not sure what you’re referring to Leslie.
