Dilemma

Algumas vezes um trabalho pára apenas por uma coisinha de nada. No caso do quilt de bandanas apliquei-me sistematicamente no quilting que acabei rapidamente . Depois fiquei bloqueada na escolha do binding. Parece coisa pequena mas não havia meio de fazer uma escolha que me parecesse acertada.
Sometimes, a little tiny thing is enough to stop a project. When I began the bandanas quilt I made systematic progresses and I finished the hand quilting quickly. Then, nothing. I had no idea about the binding. It seems to be a small issue but I wanted to make a good choice.
As bandanas eram amostras que aproveitei e o tecido do sashing, em creme, demasiado monótono para o usar novamente. Tentei primeiro um tom laranja e depois um tecido preto mas ambas as hipóteses foram postas de lado. Olhei com olhos de ver e pareceu-me que um púrpura iria na onda dos rosas, azuis e tons de púrpuras de algumas bandanas. Fiquei-me por aqui.

I had no more bandanas fabrics because I only had the samples I had used on the top. The sashing fabric was too monotonous to repeat it, with the binding again.
I tried an orange and then a black fabric but both were rejected. I tried to look wisely and it seemed to me that a purple would play well with pinks, blues and other shades of purple of the bandanas. And this was the last trial.

  8. The purple binding is inspired. I also like how its coolness contrasts with the warmth of the background. And I know what you mean about a binding color being no small thing.
