But moreso light to dark. The happy ending version leaves me alone, in that sense. So I can go along with mixed-up, dark to light.

It is much more pleasing (peaceful)to look at with the light on the right. Again I agree with dad, whatever way you do it, it's absolutely beautiful.<BR/>PS-Happy Mothers DayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11428766.post-69944530109531621422007-05-12T19:02:00.000-06:002007-05-12T19:02:00.000-06:00Let me, a non-quilter, be the first to comment. I ...Let me, a non-quilter, be the first to comment. <BR/><BR/>I do rather like the more mixed-up version, <BR/><BR/>On the orientation issue:<BR/><BR/>Being basically left-to-right readers (not that we're reading the quilt, but stick with me) when the light is at the left, my eye travels to the right, and ends up in the dark (as in foreboding) corner. When the (well, my) eye starts at the left in the darker area, and moves to the right, it ends up in the light, which I like, at least on a symbolic basis. <BR/><BR/>Now if you buy my reasoning (or feeling) it WOULD matter which way you do it if the quilt were to end up in the hands of someone who reads from right to left, i.e. a person from China. (Do I have that right? School was so very long ago...) <BR/><BR/>Whatever way you do it, it's absolutely beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
