The soft, soothing tones of the theme colors are exactly right and the grasses are a nice counterpoint to the horizontal nature of the piece.

Most of the beaches around here are quite rocky so the feeling of soft sand underfoot and waving grasses are a treat.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-8045850442422316882011-03-01T16:27:40.988-08:002011-03-01T16:27:40.988-08:00Francoise,

It is, to my eye, a part of what characterizes your quilts -- impeccable balance and composition and a sense that every element is essential, there is nothing that is not essential. This has all of those qualities. I really like the straight abstract lines contrasted by the gentle curves of the grass. And I like how the mottling in the handdyed fabric sort of continues the sense of the grass's movement. I also like how you carried that grass out onto the right border -- just wonderful.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-73743033586944027772011-03-01T16:18:50.934-08:002011-03-01T16:18:50.934-08:00I am envious of your self-control, Francoise!
