Right away, I had some qualms about my fabric choices. When I picked the white/blue fabric for the house, it looked way bright to me - but with this combo it seems to sort of blend together. So I stitched around the edge of the house with a dark thread. I still wasn't sure so I make a b/w copy.
With the black and white I see it could be better, but it will do for this experiment. But check out how the ribbon in the wreath disappears in the b/w version. That's what's neat about this method of checking value. Any comments would be appreciated. I'm lousy at color.
I'll see how the other four turn out. Maybe I'll make a table runner out of these or placemats.
I'm linking to Fabric Tuesday, Linky Tuesday Party and WIP Wednesday. You can find them on my sidebar.
What are you working on?
