Perhaps you know by now that I like to find quilts that interest me and recreate them on Electric Quilt. Check out this 1870-1890 Jacob's Ladder quilt on the International Quilt Study Center and Museum.
What intrigued me about the antique quilt was there were four Jacob's Ladder blocks in "the" block. First I recreated the quilt up to 100" square in pretty much the colors of the original. However, notice that I did not use half blocks in the top and bottom rows.
I found this drawing pretty boring. It was hard to appreciate the block.
It had popped in the antique quilt, but not in the drawing.
When I look back at the original and this drawing, I don't find much different.
I think I thought the original quilt's blocks popped because I zoomed in on them.
But meanwhile, I decided to spice up the colors.
Actually I still don't like it.
As it is now, I wouldn't be willing to make it.
What is wrong?
Leave a comment if you know what I should do differently.
We can all use help.
