I played around on EQ6 and this is what I have come up with. I like the applique, and I like the scrappy background, but is it too much to have both? I couldn't get EQ to let me have a scrappy background with the applique so you have to imagine it being there.
Is it enough to have just the scrappy or does the applique help it?
Linda I was thinking something sort of viney and not dainty but the picture I have on there for the applique was all I could find in EQ this morning. So imagine it viney and folk arty-ish. LOL and I would put something in the triangles too not just the four corners.
I have no idea why the above paragraph has a white background, so I can't figure out how to change it. :(
All of your comments have helped me so much so please keep the ideas coming!!
Headed to the quilt shop to look for more shirtings.

I think that as long as you have good value contrast that the scrappy background will work beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI like the scrappy background very much, especially with the colors you have chosen. But I have seen some delightful scrappy quilts that the scraps were blended creams with applique on it...and that looked good too. But I personally prefer this particular design in just scraps. Oodles of delightful scraps.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with EQ6. Thanks for sharing.

I think just the plain scrap background. I think with the applique it will tke away from the star. Love the borders!
