It all seems to read the same intensity and perhaps that is what is catching your eye.<br />Sylvia in Beaumont TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-85465254237036935032013-12-13T00:02:28.301-07:002013-12-13T00:02:28.301-07:00The horizontal paper area looks chalky.

Also you may want to change the value on the vertical area on the upper right. Those hard edges contrast too much with the rest of the piece. Otherwise I think that is quite successful.<br />Linda Morandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218333353051013681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-39840953776742892932013-12-12T17:25:33.843-07:002013-12-12T17:25:33.843-07:00Well, I rather liked the piece until you pointed o...Well, I rather liked the piece until you pointed out what you didn't like. I wouldn't like rip out either. I'm wondering about a light addition of paint on that section. I've come across some blogs where they have painted after stitching with a foam roller. I see a hint of that turquoise color. Elsewhere in the quilt. Would that be a possibility?HollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-9869928426259827182013-12-12T09:51:23.469-07:002013-12-12T09:51:23.469-07:00Thanks for all the great suggestions.

What about cutting it into thirds, finishing each piece and then staggering the hanging so that the horizontal line isn't quite so uniform?<br />Lynn RogersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-17065600646255026252013-12-12T08:44:17.032-07:002013-12-12T08:44:17.032-07:00It is awesome!

You'll come up with something to make it more amazing. lost in spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764224790412598373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-26817928304294497062013-12-12T08:09:28.120-07:002013-12-12T08:09:28.120-07:00A very light wash of some fabric paint?

I really like it, but I can see how the laminated section might not work for you - it is a different feel from the rest of the piece. The rest of the piece is so vivid and bold, while the laminated section seems muted and understated. I don't blame you for not being willing to rip it out!
