Of course this is my humble opinion, but you asked for it ;) Hope it helps.Marjoleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241078034098499847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250646709318263909.post-66511034836557997372012-01-17T09:37:51.088-06:002012-01-17T09:37:51.088-06:00Since you asked. . . .

To me, it's too dark or needs to be moved away from the focal point--maybe to the upper left corner as an introduction to the block. I think the house needs a little shoring up--it's just a little too faint to see.<br /><br />Also, when the piece is hanging, the key will hang vertically over the picture so are you planning to couch it down or (should I even say it?) glue it in its diagonal arrangement?<br /><br />I think adding greenery is a great idea--it seems to go well with a farmhouse, after all.<br /><br />Sorry you asked? *wink*Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250646709318263909.post-22712732375374883042012-01-16T23:01:27.470-06:002012-01-16T23:01:27.470-06:00The composition of the block is perfect.

I do think the details of the house could be sharpened a bit. Pigma makes a sepia pen that is very fine tipped. Maybe just enough pen work to bring it in to focus a bit. I like you layout and stitching. But the amount of stitching is all up to how it looks to you. I like a cleaner not cluttered look. To me the block and what you have stitched is perfect.<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250646709318263909.post-28664774925535730482012-01-16T20:31:33.511-06:002012-01-16T20:31:33.511-06:00What a beautiful block; and I'm loving the con...What a beautiful block; and I'm loving the concept of this whole quilt!<br /><br />I can't resist giving my opinion on your debates...<br />1. don't feel need for greenery with butterfly<br />2.like ribbon tails making soft diagonal across block; time passing<br />3. top left might could use something so lacy pattern around history sounds OK to me, although maybe a little resting place for the eyes is a good thing. I'd be debating for a while on this one.<br />4. not really needed, especially if you leave the ribbon tails. I'd wait until you decide what goes in the block next to it.<br />5. Nope leave the house alone... no pen or paint enhancement either.<br /><br />The butterfly is fabulous! The dark color is perfect for the piece.<br /><br />In answer to you Q on the BJP blog, check out "Beadcreator" at http://www.beadcreator.com/ I've never used it, but I have a friend who loves it!<br /><br />Robin A.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250646709318263909.post-79720895458265756192012-01-16T19:59:25.933-06:002012-01-16T19:59:25.933-06:00Its beautiful!
