Garden Path Update

Until the proper name presents, this is called "Garden Path."  I had thought that Abby (the muse) was leading me down a garden path at the beginning.  However, I think it has come together wonderfully.   

While sitting with Mom,  inspiration struck. Why does it always come at the oddest times? Perhaps the muses like to keep us on our creative toes.   The inspiration was to add a framing element inside the piece, to visually shift the focal point without cropping the quilt top.  I think it worked fairly well. If it weren't fused already, I might...but then, it is fused and I am calling it a success.  After all, Abby seems very happy with it. 

The borders add a contrast to the background while pulling in the cool colors in the composition and making them stronger.  Now it needs quilting and maybe some hand embellishment to finish it up.  I am waiting on Abby to nudge me in the right direction for quilting it before I do anything else.

I do believe I will do some more small abstract design quilts.  But we will see, Abby may have other ideas.
