Does this stop me? No. There are many things I can do to fix this: I can rip out the background and use different valued colors, which I do not own, so that isn't really an option. I could use a bleach pen and draw lines on the background pieces, thus reducing their value. I haven't ruled this out, altho it's risky: I've never tried this before. Or I could try to lighten the background with the color thread I use to quilt it. I would have to quilt a lot to make the background seem lighter. That's ok with me; it seems like I'm into a lot of quilting these days. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PJkjzGPALiE/SGI0KAYPfHI/AAAAAAAAAss/Mjsfxh2Ss6E/s1600-h/IMG_0391.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PJkjzGPALiE/SGI0KAYPfHI/AAAAAAAAAss/Mjsfxh2Ss6E/s400/IMG_0391.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215788664953470066" /></a> But as I add more pieces to the background, I'm feeling like the best course is to just wait and see what happens. I may wind up with a different solution altogether. Isn't being creative fun?Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17902247932548218756noreply@blogger.com
