Black & White Circles: 2016 A Progress Report
Inspired to actually do some sewing, I hit the box of the Great Unfinished and dragged out my black and white circles. Again. It's always lacked a little something and nothing I do to improve it seems to fit. My last effort was to sew some bright pink centres to give it a bit of a lift. Then I decided that an applique of some large-ish pineapples would make a difference. Nope! That grand idea didn't even get past the pinning stage.
So I finally decided to hang it up and take a photo - a chance to get a bit further away from it and spend time in contemplation and study. I've decided that there's just too much "white" space in that middle border between the circles and the outer wavy border. The thin yellow border is not enough - it only looks lost and lonely.

The outcome has been pinks removed, pineapples binned and the centre section of the quilt unpicked and in pieces again. Just sometimes, don't you have to go backwards to go forwards?
