I've not met EQ before, so I gather this is a virtual mock-up of the quilt that you want to do?<br /><br />Hilary Florencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611511885397558659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-11760614338079274922014-04-02T20:55:29.112-04:002014-04-02T20:55:29.112-04:00The canal houses is a great composition to work fr...The canal houses is a great composition to work from. So different in each rendition. The night one works the best - for some reason the last two houses on the right look out of place/distracting, as if they need to be cropped out. But the sketch works perfectly in your night version. Just love it.<br /><br />So I'm wondering if you see the link between the cardinal piece and your lines piece. If I did not know otherwise, I'd say Cardinal was the original quilt you took your inspiration from. I think they compliment each other so well, make such a nice pair to hang near each other. Glad you are warming to the new abstract piece. I has such sophistication.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-70764497372483222562014-03-29T19:19:36.315-04:002014-03-29T19:19:36.315-04:00Hi Chris, I love your Cardinal, and Between the S...Hi Chris, I love your Cardinal, and Between the Shadows is a wonderful linear piece!
