I find the overlaying effect of them so appealing. But I also really like the concept of attachment - great thought!<BR/>I've been enjoying this small format, too and it is a great place to try different binding/edge treatments. Your yarn edging is perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-7094317310301352322008-04-02T04:29:00.000-07:002008-04-02T04:29:00.000-07:00Before I went to bed last night, I had 11 out of 1...Before I went to bed last night, I had 11 out of 12 quilts for our community theme mosaic. I tried to imagine what you might have in store for us in the top left hand corner but I didn't come close! Your quilt fits in perfectly to make up our community collection. The centre grid repeats a design element used by others in the collection. The green coordinates with the binding on my quilt. And the embellishments add an entirely new angle. Well done! I've also been experimenting with different bindings and finishes. I've previously avoided small format quilts but I'm enjoying these 12x12 creations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-84603459512592433992008-04-02T00:55:00.000-07:002008-04-02T00:55:00.000-07:00Argh again -- my comment has disappeared.

I think your "attachments" are inspired. And they are so you too. I love the batik background fabric as well -- it's just plain gorgeous. <BR/><BR/>I've noticed that I have done a lot of different bindings as well on these, and other, small pieces. I think the small format is perfect for trying out new, or more detailed/time consuming, things.<BR/><BR/>Well done, as always!Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-37695512913481681502008-04-01T12:10:00.000-07:002008-04-01T12:10:00.000-07:00Yes, I like these little embellishments too.

Funny how we both did circles interacting with rectangular shapes, but in such different ways. I love how the embellishments work with this, too.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-53604337891804894882008-04-01T09:12:00.001-07:002008-04-01T09:12:00.001-07:00Love the quilt.

I don't know if I have ever told you, but purple and green are my favorites also, even down to a purple kitchen and green living room in our first house. So of course, I love the colors.<BR/><BR/>The embellishments are great. We are attached in so many different ways.<BR/><BR/>I see the circles as our lives and thoughts floating around, intermingling. They are placed over a structure that holds us together. <BR/><BR/>Great Job!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-29821411903663404292008-04-01T09:12:00.000-07:002008-04-01T09:12:00.000-07:00Well, if you are creating a story about your commu...Well, if you are creating a story about your community, then using your color palette is perfect. I want to be able to see this larger and up close. I love the embellishments.

They are the perfect fit.
