The butterflies stands off nicer on the batik. is the white a must have? maybe a soft print instead... also, watch the bleeding on the white... I love the big butterlfies! I have not done much applique, but I may have to play around after looking at these beauties!<br /><br />Just keep auditioning fabrics, you will know when you have the right combo! follow your gut dearie, you'll get tons of opinions...Victoria Findlay Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251128530307420200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-80324502190060141812009-07-27T18:33:01.722-05:002009-07-27T18:33:01.722-05:00I'm with Sara -- all the colors look great, bu...I'm with Sara -- all the colors look great, but it would be nice to see more butterflies. I'd make the butterfly batik teh wider one, teh purple a thin accent, and then bind the whole thing in pink just for fun. The applique butterflies are beautiful!Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-49880551926071431302009-07-09T10:50:52.438-05:002009-07-09T10:50:52.438-05:00Wait.

My jaw, it drops.<br /><br />I have NO TALENT in this area, NONE, but I am going to give my opinion anyway, and then you should probably do the opposite.<br /><br />I think the pink binding makes the pink in the butterfly stand out more.<br /><br />I think I'd like the border to be the red color.<br /><br />If the pink is bothering you, I wonder if it would be possible not to rip it out but to sew another color over it, either over all the pink or over most of it? Unless ripping it out is easier? Me = not someone who knows about sewing.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-89618716169446975952009-07-09T06:53:29.103-05:002009-07-09T06:53:29.103-05:00Love the way the butterflys overlap the sections o...Love the way the butterflys overlap the sections on your quilt. It's hard to see from your pictures....it looks like plain white fabric between the batiks? I wonder if your batik would show more if the white background was replaced with say a purplish blue sky fabric....just a thought.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957348238714491201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-73798633586333296982009-07-08T23:47:03.198-05:002009-07-08T23:47:03.198-05:00I really like the batik so I vote to us a wider st...I really like the batik so I vote to us a wider stripe of that, basically reverse the purple & the batik in the first quilt pic. I like the pink as a pop just in the butterfly, any more might be distracting. The quilt is beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished piece. You have such talent.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711122977283533914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-64168962322673409372009-07-07T22:41:12.469-05:002009-07-07T22:41:12.469-05:00i vote for pink binding... i think it will create ...i vote for pink binding... i think it will create the balance you are looking for!Julie @ Jaybird Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862285003347896342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528083884321479217.post-48640548437397378352009-07-07T20:37:18.458-05:002009-07-07T20:37:18.458-05:00I'm definitely not as creative as you, so do w...I'm definitely not as creative as you, so do what you want with this. ;)<br /><br />I really like the colors you've chosen. Very pretty. I like the cool, earthy colors in the quilt with the bright pink just in the center butterfly. I prefer the first picture without the pink binding. Using the bright pink in only the butterfly makes it a little surprising and special. Or maybe adding a thin strip of pink above and below the center white strip between the white and the batik would be a nice accent. Have fun!The Dunnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176631352190176669noreply@blogger.com
