Quilting design: Walk by method to test design

Quilting design: Walk by method to test design
Test your quilt design subconsciously by hanging it somewhere and walk by it several times a day. You will feel if the design clicks or not.
Quilt design: The walk by method to test a design
Curtains are a perfect place to hang your quilt design. Other options are a design wall, the floor, or paintings or whatever you manage to stick pins in.
By hanging up your quilt, you can check the design on a subconscious level by walking by it several times a day.
It allows you to look at your quilt several times a day without thinking about it too much.
In this way, you'll get a feel for the design and whether it feels right to you and clicks.
I call this the 'walk by' method, because you walk by your quilt several times to get that important subconscious feel to see if the design clicks.
Discussion:
- Where are you going to place your quilt to use the walk by method?
- Share a picture with the #atasteofquilting and tag me @kickassquilts on social media.
Let's get to know each other through these questions in the comments!
