I'm thinking of changing the layout on RRCB ever so slightly. I decided to use a brown and a green as the constants and liked the look of the dark triangles on the inside of the blocks instead of the outside. I think it gives it a bear claw kind of look and ties into the string blocks nicely. What do you think? The original quilt layout is
here for comparison. I also can't find the three patches from Part 1 of the mystery and so am thinking of skipping the pieced border all together.
I think that looks good and it adds your own touch to it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI also think it ties nicely with the string blocks. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like it your way! I must try to find mine!
ReplyDeleteI like your color changes too. I wouldn't skip the pieced border though, dig harder girl & find those missing parts. LOL The border really sets off the center so nicely. I had fun making mine.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good and makes it your own. I like your colour scheme too! I also think the pieced border really adds a very nice design element to the whole quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhen I pulled up your blog and saw the first picture, I went OOOH, I love your blocks, it took me a minute to recognize RRCB, but I love the bear claw look.
ReplyDeleteYour RRCB quilt is wonderful! Your colors are outstanding. However, I think you need to reconsider adding Bonnie's border. It really adds to the overall effect of RRCB...just my 2cents ;-)
