I have collected and cut into 2" squares quite a bit of fabric for my first watercolor quilt project.
Yesterday, I started placing fabric on my design board and I think I am having a problem. I may not be free spirited enough.
Both books I have on watercolor quilts seem to emphasize very impressionist style designs.
After placing several squares on my design board and stepping back to view from a distance, I discovered that I had grouped a lot of pieces from the same fabric. The effect was really pretty but was not very impressionistic.
It also looks like I will have a problem getting a smooth transition from the dark to the light areas.
I would appreciate any hints and tips based on your experience with watercolor projects.
