Daisychain Sampler "J"

Geez, I've neglected this poor Sampler for a month now!  Shame on me.  Let's blame it on Christmas. :)

Now you may (or may not) know I have a thing with quilting where I don't like the same color or the same print to "touch" when I'm piecing fabrics together.  Well, I kinda have the same thing here.

I'm loosely following Alicia's color placement and she has dark pink in both "I" and "J". 

I ALMOST changed the color.  But I admire Alicia's talent so I figured if it's good enough for her, it's CERTAINLY good enough for me!

So I did it.  I let the dark pink be beside itself here.

The sky hasn't fallen.

Think I'll be ok. ;)

It's pink so I never expected you to change the color touching or not;-)

It's lovely. May I ask where you got the pattern from?

It looks lovely!! When I noticed that I had put two of the same block together in the little top I have just done, I immediately thought of you!!

I love it! I'm glad you kept the dark pink as is. I mean, one can never have too much pink, right? :)

I like it! I, too, try not to let things touch... but I gotta say... I think this is perfect! I am learning to loosen up and trying to be more free with my quilting etc... it. is. so. hard.... but I am liking the new freedom that comes with it, too! I love scrappy quilts, but for some reason, I end up making things so matchy but no touchy that they don't get that scrappy look I love and admire in all the magazines and patterns. I just love the treat I get to see every time I get to check out your blog! You always make my day! :O)

Hey, they aren't 'touching' each other so don't lose sleep over it. Tell them they better behave or you will be forced to seperate them and that will confuse every child trying to learn their ABCs! ;p

You are too funny, Miss Pretty By Hand. ;p

I'm with Ina! :-) I've missed the Sampler - not that I haven't enjoyed everything else, because I certianly have, but it was nice to see her in all her pink again. :-)

You can NEVER have too much pink, and really, they don't touch, so no big deal. Beautiful work, as always :)

I think it's kind of fun to break your own rules. It helps you grow. ;)
