So today I tried simplifying it to this:
It would be my intent to sew the pieces together so there would be no gaps as show in this snapshot. It has an oriental feel to it, and is much simpler and calmer than the previous variation.
So do I wait another week to see if this the right way? So sew it together and move on with my art? I vacillate even as I type this. Maybe tomorrow I'll decide....or put it off...
And of course this leaves me with three other pieces to play with. I really like the thin long strips that formed the arms...could they be stand alone pieces? I could see them hanging on a narrow wall...art for problem spaces...

I saw Quilt national yesterday. There was one piece that was in two parts, stitched with very long stitched together... page 41 of the book.
Fabulous show.

I like Ann's idea. Because I like your first pic with all the black showing. Ann is referring to Weeks Ringles' piece about her "tankini".
I thought about that, but I couldn't quite figure out the technical part--how she got it so even. So I just used some dark blue organdy ribbon to link the segments. I need to photograph that and show it, but I need to set up a light background for the ribbon to show.
I really like the simplified version.
