Design Wall Stall

I am back to my  design wall... sort of.... I have had a few too many other projects.. and thankfully - client quilts that needed to be done.... so I sort of put my design wall on hold.

Good thing my family loves me, they don't mind it being stagnant ;-)

Yesterday was a QOV sew in - so now I am all inspired to start back in on the project stalled out on the wall.... ready???


This is where I left it - the center is all sewn.
but the top kept talking to me - It was loud too!
it said I am not done, I am feeling nekkid

So I started making some border type pieces



It still didn't like just the blue....
so I dug until I found some pink....

I am thinking maybe a little pink in the border might brighten it up?

We will see if it speaks to me this week or not - 
there is a lot of additional noise going on out here

  1. Glad you have dusted off your design wall again. Me too. Your quilt will tell you what it wants to be when it grows up, don't worry. I like the piano key border idea.

  2. Gotta love those talking projects! Improv piecing is so much fun. I love the direction this is taking.

  3. This is really fun! I'm glad you're working on it again. I remember seeing it before, but had completely forgotten about it. That pink in the border will be a great pop of color. I can't wait to see how this looks finished.

  5. What a great quilt! I love the low volume and the blue...gorgeous! It helps to walk away for a while. I find that eventually an idea will come to me and I can get back at it again!

  6. What a fun quilt to work on! I like the added pink border, it pulls in the small pink pieces fro the blocks!

  7. The pink in the border really brings out the pink in the blocks. I like the surrounding neutral too.
