Off-center Quilt
Sawtooth Star
I want to design a 72" x 96" quilt top using 6" Sawtooth Stars.
What if I create a series of boxes that nest in the top right corner? I'll start with dark purple stars on the outside and transition to light purple in the center.
What if I color the background to each star using the next lighter color of purple?
I find this very pleasant.
What if I nest the boxes in different corners?
This is not as pleasing a the last one.
What if I separate each box from the previous box by 1 row on the top and right, and by 2 rows on the bottom and left?
What if I fill the space between boxes with checkerboard squares?
What if I try a new color scheme too?
What if I change the color scheme to browns and red?
This is more subdued, much calmer.
What if I change the color scheme again? This time I'll try mint greens and white.
This is more subtle. The pattern shift takes back seat to the color shift.
I haven't decided which design I like best. I'm torn between 2, 5 and 6. They all have something I like. Any suggestions as to which is best?
