It was 44 x 46 inches, which is bigger than I usually work.   I think I will make it into a couple of smaller tops, which will allow me to explore a variety of design ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started with the pieces that had colors, and cut some of the pieces even smaller.  I decided I wanted the black lines to be skinnier, so I&#8217;m cutting those narrower, or removing them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is my first re-design, pinned to the design wall.   The &#8220;background&#8221; is the gray fabric on my design wall.  I may use a similar gray fabric, or perhaps a variety of grays.   Right now it&#8217;s about 22 x 4o inches, but will it get smaller as I sew the pieces together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"1403\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terryaskeartquilts.com\/Studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Reconstructed-1.jpeg?fit=640%2C996\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terryaskeartquilts.com\/Studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Reconstructed-1.jpeg?w=901&amp;ssl=1 901w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terryaskeartquilts.com\/Studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Reconstructed-1.jpeg?resize=193%2C300&amp;ssl=1 193w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terryaskeartquilts.com\/Studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Reconstructed-1.jpeg?resize=658%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 658w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terryaskeartquilts.com\/Studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Reconstructed-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C1196&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>. . . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by.
