This is my Jan. crazy quilt block. Funny, now that I am looking at the photo of it, I am not as happy with it. It needs a little more work. Sometimes I wonder if anything is ever truly finished!
If you feel that something is not right but you don't know what, why not leave it and solve the problem later. When these blocks have been joined into a quilt top you might want to add stitches near the seams.
Paper and fabric are my two faves, too! And your quilt top is very cool! I do the same thing...though I am not a quilter...sometimes I just never know when to quit...I just put it down and walk away from it. Seems to take on a whole new vision after a short period, and is easier to complete.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog! It means so much to me and I truly appreciate it! Whenever possible I reply to comments. warm regards Angela Princess Bubbles
I am glad that LeeAnna asks these questions. It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home. Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain. Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us. We also got hand-me-downs. We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season. I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me. I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes! Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend. Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home. There were 30 of us all told. 14 of which were under the age of 16. It is lovely to get caught...
I think my little fish is finished. I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish. Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home. I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one. I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way. They will all find a home in the right project eventually. In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it. They are fun to create and that should be enough. I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like. It is truly a mixed media piece. I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers. So fun!
