My Mulligan

For those of you that don't have a golfer in your life, a mulligan is a do-over.
Here's my do-over


I received some great tips to getting good contrast:

1.  Kelly of www.pinkadotquilts.blogspot.com told me since she has been using one of those red see-thru plastic viewers she has had very few contrast issues.

2. Judy and Norma recommended using a design wall and stepping back frequently.

3.  Cornwoman suggested sticking with a more solid looking background.

  2. Ah, yes! Much better! And you still got to use those cute polka dots.

  4. If i am using colors and a busy design, I tend to go with lighter shades with a minimal amount of pattern, but if I am doing all black, I will go with a darker shade and pattern.

  6. Pretty! Also looking at the block and threads through a camera view finder or a peephole will show you how successful the contrast is. But this looks great.

  7. I have a red viewer and love using it. Sometimes I am surprised how many mediums I have when i think I've done such a good job!

  9. I never would have thought of the red contrast viewer, that is a great idea! I am trying so hard to catch up, and never saw the first but the mulligan is nice. :)
