When
combining
quilt blocks and embroidery, it's important to select
embroidery motifs
that will enhance
the
piecing, without overwhelming it. In our sample many
elements are repeated. In addition, there
are several
pieced and appliquéd leaves. The leaf colors are much
brighter than the
background fabrics,
making them stand out. The dark gray/brown tree
colors and some of the darker
appliquéd leaves contrast
with the
background for a more intense in visual appearance.
The leaf embroideries
on the quilt left side are balanced by the maple leaf
blocks on the right. A pleasing mix of contrast
and balance, of repetition
and unity is what creates a pleasing design. |
