I love a scrappy low-volume background for the texture and life it gives, but I had never thought of that as improv. <br />So improv isn’t about sewing such wonky lines that it looks like you were drunk when you did it? Phew! 😂 I learn something new!Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-31239711139023637332018-06-13T11:22:56.590-04:002018-06-13T11:22:56.590-04:00The bright colors pull the eyes toward them and I ...The bright colors pull the eyes toward them and I was surprised to learn that you had improved to make the background scrappy. It was difficult for me to fathom that. I was looking at another blog today and noticed that the blogger commented that she had pieced the background. When I looked closely, the "white" background looked as if there were some stains in it. It was where a slightly darker shade of white or ecru had been used. If she had not mentioned the use of piecing of the background and it had been close to a bit of applique, I would never have noticed it. What a great lesson from two different quilters today!
