This piece is one that was originally printed with the idea of slicing between the printed rows and inserting contrasting strips. I never intended it as a whole cloth piece. However, once finished, I fell in love with it as a whole cloth rectangle. I don't care for it nearly so much as a square. I have thought about cutting it into quarters and rotating them to make something a little more dynamic. I think I could use some daring colors on the inserts to make it come alive, too. I am reluctant to cut it up, but I can probably man up and do it. .......
More choices coming up.

Cynthia - this is beautiful. I'd hate to cut it up too. How about sending the design to Spoonflower and having another piece printed, then cutting that one up?
I could easily hand print a similar one. I have all the printing blocks, as I hand carved them. I have plenty of hand dyed fabric laying around the studio. At this point - I am just not sure it warrants being quilted...I am still going through UFO's! Might find something more suited to the upcoming exhibition.
great!!!
I agree, don't cut it up. I really like the first geometric cloth you showed.
Not keen on cutting this up but liked the other orientation better. I agree though that part of what makes it work is that it is a rectangle as opposed to a square.
