During this hemorrhage of thoughts and pictures throughout the process on this quilt, Mary Ann commented that this is what blogs are all about. The next comment by Michelle made me think "this is what blogging is all about!" She said she agreed with my thought on enhancing the horn since she hadn't even noticed it. If left to my own eye I might never have gone back and outlined it, or maybe I would have dithered around indefinitely about if I should or not. I truly appreciate a well-thought-out comment about a design or color or placement question. A good comment about a problem spot, or the way a viewer sees something that I might have missed or overlooked is always welcome. I love getting true critiques and opinions on a piece as I'm working on it and have several friends I shoot pics in progress off to for that very reason. I'm just as likely to verbally describe something to them too, and sort of let my mind go with the back and forth that stems from those conversations. It's not that I feel my designs need any 'help' from other people, it's just that I appreciate hearing how something comes off visually to others. Sometimes I listen, sometimes I don't.
So, without further ado, here is the horn, enhanced.

MUCH better, Delta! The horn now takes its rightful place in the composition as the source of the musical elements. You had the original idea, and knew what to do, you just needed that extra "push" of encouragement to make it work. You did a good job; it looks great now.
G'day Delta,
Thanks for showing us your process from the beginning to the end ... 'tis a lovely piece ... also look forward to your next horn one ... OOroo ... Bethel
