Ok, what do I do now - I already skipped the Afghan Square. No way I'm going to ditch this one.
So now what?
Why do I not like autumn colors? Probably the promise of cold, wet and dark days looming ahead is what really turns me off.
On the other side, autumn has beautiful sides to offer - Chinese lanterns, ripe berries, red maple leaves, asters and pumpkins. So I decided to focus on this color palette - even though it is not the typical autumn color palette you would expect.
After making the spirals, the quilt seemed to be empty in a way so I took to my harshest critique - my daughter. She suggested a green bug. But the only ones I could find which related to autumn were ladybugs and stink bugs. Ladybugs were out of the question - way to cute for my liking. Stink bugs are edgy enough - but most of them are brown. BROWN! Ugh.
So - Gear Wheels! Just because I like them. Yay!
