...I realized I did not have enough fabric from the print. And not only did I not have enough fabric, but the fabric I bought was OUT OF PRINT! Yikes. I did manage to find some on ebay, but not enough to make the size top that I wanted. So, plan B. I bought a complimentary fabric from the same line, Pillow and Maxfield.
The second print fabric is also out of print, but, again, I was able to find some on ebay. It was enough to make the top I wanted. The only question was, how to arrange it, now that I already had pieced and cut the first print. Here were some options that I thought would work, but wasn't 100% happy with.
My husband liked the left one better. I had been leaning towards the right one (yes, i realize there are two pieces turned wrong in the middle on the left side). What I didn't like about the left was that I my eyes didn't know where to rest when looking at it. The left layout just seemed a little chaotic, and as an engineer, I prefer structure! But, there also seemed to be something about the right layout that did not convince me to start piecing it.
So I kept at it and finally settled on this..
There is movement, yet my eyes don't hurt when I look at it! Now, onto piecing....
I love this! Did you finish piecing it?
