I've finished Urban Worm, gotten back on the horse with the Farmer's Wife Sampler, and have actually been feeling creative. So, I turned my attention to the Kona Cotton Challenge once again. I'd actually designed a top for it in EQ7:
I like it. It's very traditional, very pretty... and would have made for a crap ton of piecing, and more effective with yardage, not charms. Not exactly what I was going for.
So, my brain has been stewing on this conundrum. In my sleep. I woke up two days ago with the image of a design burning a hole in my consciousness. It would not leave me alone. So I finally got a chance to draw it out and make some tweaks to this design:
The flying geese that are all the same color - that's just a placeholder color for while I play around with the charm pack and figure out what gradients are getting used. And now I have an almost pathological need to get a Kona color card, so that I can make up the gradients that the charm pack isn't going to provide me with.
And yes, those are flying geese on a curve.
I am a sick, sick person.
