I also like the way your fabric choices seem suggestive and open-ended, leading the viewer to wonder what it really is that is on this wish list. A lovely piece!Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-42704017620759458912020-02-03T22:53:58.437+00:002020-02-03T22:53:58.437+00:00Oh Ruth I absolutely love your quilt.

The low volume fabrics that you used to piece the background make such a statement without overpowering the stitching of the dandelion. so beautiful.

Some of us chose blowing dandelion seeds to depict this Challenge. I did too. I just love how each of us came up with very different views on blowing the seeds. I love everything about your piece.<br />xx, Carol Carol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-10945673029144480422020-02-02T00:57:36.323+00:002020-02-02T00:57:36.323+00:00My first thought with the wishes theme was "I...My first thought with the wishes theme was "If wishes were fishes", so it's fun to see so many with that same-ish thought.
