GINKGO LEAF QUILT IN PROGRESS

 Rarely do the original designed art quilts I create end up as envisioned. Actually, rarely do I have a clear vision at the start. This one is still transforming itself......from a skimpy number of ginkgo leaves and potential additional motifs to more leaves and other motifs.... Still not satisfied....more auditioning to go.....

No no no - do not clutter more leaves on the black rectangle! I was absolutely enchanted by the look of those fussy-cut leaves against the black in the first picture and I think that works so well because they come from the fabric surrounding the black. Then as I scrolled down and saw the second rendition, I had a most negative reaction. Gut responses both, for what they are worth. As for what to add to the right, I see your dilemma.

Oops....too late Sheila......I opted for the more cluttered look in an effort to hopefully provide a better balance for other motifs.....and quite honestly, trying to determine if a more complext look might benefit my work. NOT!!! Lesson learned, I like the clean look that I've been creating. It's a far cry from my very overly embellished and motif filled 3-d work of years ago. Never hurts to move out of one's safe space to see where you land and whether you like that journey. I'm satisfied with the results...posted 1/7/21......but won't let that guide me in the future. I love your honestly as always!!
