Experiment

Instructions in this months AQS magazine. I had time on Sunday to give it a try.

The blocks are sliced up quite a bit but the background fabric still dominated and the peach was my least favorite. It was picked to go the what I thought would act as the focus print. It became the focus instead, leaving the other fabrics sort of stranded and not speaking to each other. So I colored it with some paintsticks. It helped some. The one below isn't colored.

What I liked:
The recombining of the piece, I liked the process and I liked the almost but not quite lined up look
The circle shape
The distorted nine-patch

What I didn't like:
The colors

I want to try again with different fabrics.
