You did a wonderful job of capturing the discarded wrapper. The foil wrapper is perfect. I think I'm partial to the blue, but that may just be my desire for a calm morning.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-72384881580348781442008-02-01T04:17:00.000-08:002008-02-01T04:17:00.000-08:00They're great!

So after it was all quilted and had been up on my wall for a day and a half, I decided to take a pastel crayon and try to create some shadowy depth along the upper edge. But I forgot that I had pieced the background, and when I started rubbing gently with the crayon, I got a big dark line where the background was pieced -- a rubbing of the line on the FRONT of the quilt. Eek! Suddenly I had soft shadow and a dark line that I couldn't eliminate or cover, although I tried more coloring and even fusing and more quilting over it. It just looked icky. And of course, I didn't have any more of the original blue background fabric which I'd loved. Which led to choosing #2, and then was too dark and didn't provide enough contrast against the brown wrapper, so I colored in a lighter field and created a horizon line...
