Am bewildered on how to continue on the rug. In the beginning plans were to do the hit and miss background like the antique, but found it too time consuming with the trial and error of picking the right colors. And, it never looked like the antique to me.
So thought I'd try another tactic. The central flowers are still the focal point of the rug and with a less busy background. Below you can see the hit and miss on the left and the green mixture on the right. The right side is not nearly as dramatic as the left but seems softer on the eyes to me. Besides, the border will provide plenty of interest and won't fight with the hit and miss background inside.
After my yard work injury Maureen asked if my tetanus vaccine was up to date. UH, I didn't know. So yesterday I went thru my vaccination records and learned my last shot was August 2013. They are recommended every 10 years so was overdue. This morning I had a tetanus booster shot; thanks Maureen.
Decided to switch out my nighttime window screen to make it more spring like. This is a quilt applique I made one year for my mom for Mother's Day. There is a cup of coffee on the table, mother's all day beverage, and family photos. The tallest photo is of mother's parents, others are her brothers, me and my brother.

Your spring time window screen is very special indeed. I’m glad you were able to get your booster and I hope your injury isn’t too bothersome. And I do like how the flowers pop.
ReplyDeleteYou will figure out the rug to primitive perfection.
