The blue wedge


Blue is my favorite color, but this is not my favorite block, and I'm not sure why. It may be that I don't like that orange leaf button in the button cluster, though I think it'll look better when it's across from the orange block. However I am open to suggestions on ways to improve this; whether they have to do with the orange leaf or some other component.

Hey QQ
I think you need to add a little more orange to the button cluster.To make it blend in more. Just a thought maybe add a little motif on the patch below it to incorporate a little more orange
Looking very good

GOSH--yer asking us what it needs?!?!?! I love the feather stitch and can never have too much of that--I see you have a bare spot-lol--several?!?! a wreath maybe with more of the red/orange in there?? button trail definitely needs something...I see a lot of places that I would put something in---but it looks grand the way it is , too! *~*CAROLE*~*

It's a pretty block. I would probably use a white or silver button but that's just me.

Janet I really love the colors in this blue portion of the color wheel...and I think it looks pretty the way it is but if anything i agree with Gerry maybe silver would compliment it nicely.

Janet your block is gorgeous, and I love the wedge design. If you do not like the orange leaf, what I have done in the past is to take a small makeup sponge and or permanent marker and dust in the veins on the leaf, it will darken it and I would not hesitate to use a blue rather than a dark black or brown. It is truly beautiful.
