I do have a class (and a book!) called Inspired to Design that talks about this even more. Always include only what is essential to you - and to a good composition....and omit the unnecessary!! <br />you can email me at the link on the side bar...or elizabethyork100 atyahoo.....<br />if you have specific questions.....thanks for writing!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-7891455674547028412017-08-20T11:26:41.941-07:002017-08-20T11:26:41.941-07:00I appreciate seeing your original inspiration phot...I appreciate seeing your original inspiration photos and the abstracted version in finished quilt form.
