And ...I am SO glad you are starting to feel better! And I had to laugh at Cathy R's comment about not being able to use her cold as an excuse for not finishing her project. lol<br /><br />This piece is really interesting- when I view it smaller, the yellow really brings out the bluish-violet in the gray and even a little in the black, which is very cool. Yet when I enlarge it to full-size, I don't see that at all. I am curious to see this one in person- close up and from further away to see what happens.<br /><br />The gray batting with it's little flecks of gold in it is indeed a perfect frame and background for the bold yellow rectangle. The wavy quilting lines mirror the long wavy lines in the flower and help to draw the eye all the way around.<br /><br />The yellow is just delicious, and provides great contrast for the linear flower. The quilting in the yellow gives a great change in scale from the long lines elsewhere. It also seems very natural to have these beautiful, swirly, tendril-like lines close to the flower, and they echo the middle of the flower so well.<br /><br />The strip at the bottom nicely balances out the flower and both provide great visual texture. I enjoy how the strip is centered beneath the flower, yet the design is not the same on both sides of the middle "v"- it really draws my eye to the differing directions of the line in there.<br /><br />I can certainly see why this makes you happy!<br /><br />mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.com
