In art school I learned to make colour boards before designing something. You can take some old magazines, take out pages with colours you like and try to make a composition on a piece of paper. When you like it you can glue the pieces on the paper and pin it to the wall. When you like it after some time, you can try to translate those colours into little quilts!! Have fun, that’s the most important part!dutchcomforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986021480546345435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-23344914653143953362008-02-21T08:26:00.000-06:002008-02-21T08:26:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time.

Sometimes when I am working on something too long I start to feel like it doesn't look right or will never get done. After you haven't seen them for a while seeing them with fresh eyes may help you see what they need, if they need anything. <BR/><BR/>Keep your chin up and find a fun project to distract you for a little while. (When I feel that way I work on string blocks. I love seeing all those different fabrics as well as the 'mindless' sewing) and hopefully those spring flowers will be showing themslevs soon, I'm ready for them too!! :cDcountry mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222448718866218658noreply@blogger.com
