"Stupendously Imperfect!"

"Allow what you do to be stupendously imperfect...done is better than perfect."  Big Magic

I finished my Folt Bolt April color scheme hydrangea project this afternoon.  We'll see if Kriszta posts it....you never know.  

I switched gears a couple of times but landed in a pretty good place. It's far from perfect....but it's done.  If you missed how I came up with the idea for the petals you can check it out here.

 

For my other Folt Bolt pieces I used a 6" by 6" paint panel for mounting.  My intention was to use the same size for this one and wrap the patchwork background around the panel....but I didn't like it.  My image was too big and I lost too much of the background.  I had a bigger 8" by 8" panel on hand which I was determined to make work. I wrapped and fused blue batik to the panel and added a pinstripe border around the edge of the quilt. For all you Project Runway fans....this is called a "make it work" moment. "Done is better than perfect!"
