It is time to make a concerted effort to try and finish this bedspread fairly soon, so I put it up on the design wall today. In other words, I slung it over the settee. I am putting narrower panels in darker shades around the edge, and I wanted to see how they look. The strip at the top is a section of the border. No doubt it will look far better once it is attached.
I am really pleased with how all these prints work together. I am hoping that the darker shades in the border will contain the paler colours in the centre and contrast well with them.
Does everybody start flagging when the finish is in sight, or is it just me?
This post is linked to Lee's blog Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday - lots of other projects for you to see there!
And also to Leah Day's blog for Free Motion Friday.
For some reason, when I get close to a finish I get much less interested in the project! How annoying right??
ReplyDeleteThis looks great - Cant wait to see it all done!
I think it must be that we get more satisfaction out of working out how to do something. Once it is obvious the idea works it feels like mission accomplished, whereas it isn't.
DeleteThe weather is rubbish today, so I have been staying in and doing a bit more on it.

That's so pretty!! And great FMQ!! Are you using one of Leah's designs? I really like it.I have been out of touch with her blog lately. I've been busy, busy, busy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dani!
DeleteI'm not using Leah's designs as such, but go to her blog for inspiration and then do my own thing. She does all her designs on a really small scale, whereas I am working on a slightly bigger scale... and on a treadle!
Love,
