I'm just getting a start on this window box for a wall hanging. So I thought I would share the process along the way.
I tacked up a huge section of the gridded interfacing and began with the window panes. I am just using squares of 2 fabrics for the window panes. Then I moved to the frame around the panes and the flower box. Across the top of the panes and down the center, I used 2 different fabrics of the same value and color.
I decided on the approximate spot for the flower box, and used about 8 squares of a swirled fabric for it. I blended from the flower box up to and over the panes with lots of colors and size patterns. Last I have begun at the upper corners---very dark here--and will blend across and down the sides.
It really helps to stop and take a photo to see what works and what doesn't. Right off, I can see now that on the left, I lightened too quickly from the flower box. That area I will rework to get rid of the hard line. Second spot....right window pane bottom, the golden tan square has got to go.
I am not exactly sure where I am going with this, or how large it will be. I am taking inspiration from a couple of photos of English windows. I will just see where it ends up.
Happy stitching.
