It's Work in Progress Wednesday, so I thought I'd show what I've been up to on the Selvage Heart Quilt. The last time I showed the pieces above they were just blocks I believe, but here they are pieced together ... and guess what, being 100% honest, I don't like them.
I like the idea of them, but it is how they actually turned out that I'm not in LOVE with. The pink background bothers me, but more than that, in the word above, there is too much empty space between the L and the heart representing the O. I also don't like how skinny the bottom of the V is.
The 2011 is nice, except for the pink. So we'll see what becomes of these. They may get incorporated in the quilt in some different form, or they may go in the reject pile. -
Anyway, that's it for the posts on this quilt, until probably September. As I think I mentioned before, I am making this quilt for our guild show so I probably should keep the rest of what is happening to it as a surprise until then ... but, in the meantime, speaking of both selvages and our guild ...
We had a guild meeting last night and look what I was given! A selvage mountain! Thank you so much Nancy!
For a size comparison, see the car! I will be starting in with these if I can grab a few minutes later today. I've been wanting to make a nice straight ahead simple selvage quilt (no snowman faces, no latticing, no fancy borders) and these are perfect. I will have more than enough selvages for a whole quilt even though I am planning to use mostly just the colour window dots on this next quilt.

Happy Quilting!
