My Design Wall holds Yankee Doodle!

I really love having a design wall!

It's encouraging to see a big project grow from its baby steps to a full-grown project. This is the beginning of "Yankee Doodle", a design by Jo Morton that is part of Little Women Group 11. I will be encouraging our group to start the project this month, and lay out the steps they can take each month to move the project along.

Another thing that a design wall does is to help you see where some changes could improve the design. See the star/circle block in the lower left corner? I decided that it didn't have enough contrast, so I have replaced those blocks with a different choice of fabrics.

 

I'm going to offer 3 or 4 choices for the center block. Jo's design has a star made of small (3/8") buttons or yo-yos. They could use a fabric star (like I show here) or even insert a pieced star--as long as it is 6" finished. 

I'll keep you updated on my progress, in the meantime, what's on your design wall? I'd love to see!

Till next time, keep stitchin'
