Progress is being made, as it seems by completing the top 2 rows now, I am nearly halfway through the process of adding the strips of colour

which I talked about in the previous post.

I did a little sample of the idea I mentioned at the end of that post of a triangular mesh with ‘things’ at the points of intersection of the dotted/quilting lines. Reviewing and considering this, it’s a chicken or the egg kind of question – do I stitch the lines in first than place whatever ‘thing’ I decide at the intersection points, or do I stitch or fuse the ‘things’ in place (and I love the tiny triangles) and then stitch between them? And will the stitching lines be quilting, ie done once the whole piece is layered, or will I make those part of the surface design and do some form of quilting in another operation altogether, closer to the end?

Well there’s no rush for decision making here, as I still have plenty of triangles on which to add bands of colour. A FB friend commented yesterday that the triangles as per the top photo look look lively and happy. I’m glad to hear such a comment – and that feeds into my thinking about the title for this work.
