Amazing what happened when you added the dragonflies. Some strips of fabric turned into a place that I could really see! And then the little mountain piece completely changed it to somewhere else. I want to try something like this, but knowing where to start is slowing me down. I guess, maybe, I should start with a few strips of fabric! :)LIttle Penguin Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963436433585505550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-19889034695169871412017-03-08T06:30:06.166-08:002017-03-08T06:30:06.166-08:00Just one little strip of color changed the aqua pi...Just one little strip of color changed the aqua piece...amazing when that happens!

That would edge out the Christmas response and allow you to incorporate more yellow with your quilting threads (as accents).
