Renata,
I've been looking at light colored batiks, also. I decided to wait on background fabric until my reels come home. I went through 3 fabrics before selecting the tree of life background. I would like to get it right the first time on the reels....at least in my dreams... :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Although I originally planned on using a light coloured fabric, I have recently been wondering about using a very dark bckground - the bottom of a sewing box? The colours of the reels are wonderfully all over the place, with some groups having a larger selection of some colours than others. However I won't be playing with mine until I have safely seen everyone else's safely on their way home.
Still biting my nails!

I'll take any comments just to get me outside the light batik box, even if I end up returning to that... I'll keep playing with fabrics but I do admit I get pretty lost in a fabric shop... :lol: :lol: :lol: very distracting :? I briefly thought about a very dark color too with reel tops and bottoms in a light wood-looking color... but amazing, I quickly forgot about that until you mentioned it, Rosemary
ops: .
I just don't want to go back to nail biting... :lol:

I have decided to wait until I have the reels in my hands before I choose my backing fabric and my spool tops/bottoms. I still can't quite decide on a design so I suppose I am in no hurry for the spools. :? I can't see straight anyway so even if I did have them it wouldn't do me any good. I told my son that my bionic eye had a tiny camera chip in it because I am a secret agent to which he responded "is that so that the government can keep an eye on all those TOP SECRET quilts you are making". :lol: I am so glad his expensive education is not going to waste!

Rosemary, if you remember I am involved with the Loch Lomond Quilt Show http://www.lochlomondquiltshow.com which starts on Wednesday. We were hanging one of the exhibitions yesterday in a beautiful church. It was 30 of the best from Region 14. Is that your Quilters Guild Region? I wondered as there is a beautiful quilt with all the different towns & cities around York, Leeds and North East, obviously a Region Banner/Quilt I just wondered if you had been involved with any of it?

Do post some pictures from the exhibition, either here or start a new thread especially for them, for the rest of us to enjoy, and have a great time!Comment

I love the staggered layout and the fact that she has lost the points on the tops of the spools.Originally posted by Margo
