This is true whether we're working on something new or something we have done that we're not happy with - or given up on in the middle. I would call it editing -- and we do it with our writing, so why not with our visuals?
I really didn't think it was worth my time to redo the whole quilt but I did take one block and slice it randomly last night. I added a strip or two and then tonight, took a couple of the other parts of the block, combined them with some leftovers from my treasure box and in a few minutes, without planning, voilà:
From this..(well, a different block but same batch)

The result is very architectural! I also see an abstract landscape.
I just love how you work and the results. I can't wait to take your class at Fabrications. I have lots of ugly fabric.
Sure, Rayna, I'll play along Only restriction is that I have to use the block somehow?
I've never worked with blocks, not sure how I would do but if you want to risk one of them on a total block newb, I'm game.
I'm finding it fascinating, though, and well worth the experimentation, that you're able to take otherwise plain-jane blocks and make them into something so different and unusual. Very inspiring.
Very interesting re-do, Rayna!
I'll take that challenge! :)
You obviously took those words to heart! Well done.
I'll volunteer to play with some pieces. I just need to know what the "ground rules" are!
I'll e-mail you my address.
I see pyramids. Please don't be offended if I pass on this offer....if you saw my sewing room, you would understand!
xo
Rayna,
I'd love to alter a block. I'll e-mail my address. Thanks!
I'll play! I may be too late and all the blocks have already been taken. Boo Hoo. You have my address, I believe. Love, Del
