Design help please

I love the answers. My wife loves them also. The preponderance appear to support her view. Then again, I like the answers that suggest the new design element will anchor the view as to direction. I think that the slight difference in colors, is placing a visual neutrality(whatever that means) to the perspective. If it were the standard large difference in colors that go to making up the block, then the flow would be more evident. The subtlety of color variation introduces a curious visual perspective. You are unsure of how the flow is portrayed. Top left or top right to opposing bottom corner. Either way I think it will be interesting, when it is finished. I hope. It is going to be set into a black background, of a 4" border surrounded by a narrow piping outline of mottled yellow-gold around that, and then an outside border of more black about 4-6" and the final binding. As yet unchosen. At the bottom of all this is the mystery design element. You will have to wait and find out what it is.

I can see it both ways, John. I think it depends on whether you've focused on the pieces in the block, in which case it flows from top right to bottom left, or whether you've focused on the entire block; at that point it flows from top left to bottom right. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with this! :)

Might be just my monitor, but the low contrast allows it to "fall" in almost any direction. I keep wanting to turn the monitor upside down :-) Very cool design! IMO your new element will settle the issue and make it harder to see all the other angles. Roberta in D

Hi John,

I initially saw this moving from upper right to lower left. I was then able to make myself see it run the other way then...

...you described the color differentiation. I am now ONLY able to see it run from upper right to lower left.

More of a commentary on my vision than a recommendation, I think :-)

I got her spinning both ways. Looking at John's quilt with my eyes in the Magic Eye mode I saw definite mountains and valleys in the quilt. I loved looking at the magic eye books and the big pictures they used to have in the local market. Hugs Shirley

I really appreciate, all the opinions. I think, so far, that most of you think it flows from top left to bottom right. We will see when the super delegates cast their vote. What, you dIdn't know about the super delegates? That is often the only way these things can be resolved. Or, so it would seem.

Isn't this one of those cases where either is valid and it's how it jumps out at you at the time and if you didn't think about it you could come back another time, or look at it from another angle and you might think it flows differently. So another design element isn't going to make anyone think you got it in the wrong place, it will anchor the eyes and no one will even see it the other way and even if you look for it, you probably will be wondering how on earth you thought it could go the other way!

I agree; I saw it going both ways, too. It may depend on the viewing angle in the photo.

And, it's very pink! :)

I tend to agree with you Anne. I think it is a coin toss.

Don't worry. Make another one, with the colors showing a bit more contrast. Send this one to me.

I see diamonds and arrows aiming from top right to bottom left. And (!) I see beauty and motion and (finally) John becoming very creative. Knock 'em out, John. Polly

It is gorgeous no matter which way you look at it!

For me, the design seems to run from the bottom right to the top left........

Let us know how it goes!

well, It depends on which picture I am looking at. the thumbnail pic on the website for me is clearly steps going up from the bottom L to the top R. While the larger more detailed picture can go either way, I tend to see it going down from the top L to the bottom R probably b/c of the shading with the darker triangles.

Can't wait to see it done!

being a super delegate, who knows better than the "common quilter", I vote with your wife. Being a super delegate, my vote counts a lot more than the "common quilter".
