New Work Progress

Just thought I'd post my progress on my newest project. This is the center section and I've really been enjoying working on it. I've already changed somewhat from my original drawing and also have changed the colors that I had planned. The biggest change so far is in the flying geese. I had decided to applique the flying geese sections--rather than paper piecing-- and had put a beautiful aqua batik row of flying geese on top of a black background. I just felt a big "Ugh" when I looked at it--it felt heavy and off-color. So--I decided to lighten up the feel of the black by cutting away the insides and then changed the color of the geese. And I came away a happy camper. And then I chose the colors for the flowers in tones that, hopefully, work to pull together the already existing colors. The very center is still in the thought process. I have the next section outside of the red frame drawn and will work on that next. After that? Euw . . .I'm not sure.
