I came out with a total of seven. It definitely attracted and held my attention. It was only looking closer that I noticed the interesting variety of pastel colors. The only points I did not give it were 4 and 5. It didn't stir or disturb me, though "stir" is a little hard to define. The light bands in the binding were a little disturbing or distracting, but not enough to rate a negative point.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun, thanks for the idea! I will be interested to see what others think.
Thanks for playing along, Sharon! I'll disclose more about these quilts in another post later.
DeleteBetween a 7 and an 8. Quilting definitely compliments the overall composition, and I like that some areas are left un-quilted. The stripes in the binding threw me off a bit, but you like the surprise element in your work, and that may be a signature statement.
