What's up?
You can give me a negative score, no problem, but please tell me why and what's wrong with my tile!
Not a negative score but...
Hello Blink-
If you look at the upper right hand side of your tile, you may see that on each of the borders that you were given, that there was no color or image that went to the full edge of either of these two neighboring tiles. Had you stopped your color or treatment at the end of the red area of the upper tile and not completely into the corner,the sharp lines that your color creates,(color notwithstanding) would not be there forming the square lines at the extreme corner, which of course leave that dark and easy to spot, corner. Generally, your blending is acceptable and if you consider that the quilt is an exercise in seamless joinery, corners as you've left your's, will always steal from your potential score. I know that I spent the longest time trying to master a reasonable level of seamless joinery (blending) and it doesn't always come easily. Keep going there Blink and I'm sure that with a few more tiles under your belt that you will get the gist of it. Look around the quilt at other tiles which have had starter borders much like the ones that you tackled and get a feeling for how that artist handled this joint or the blending of his work into another's work. If you take the time to see what's going on and at the way scores of others tiles are considered, you are sure to understand what you need to do. I wish you success and happy tiling, all of the days of your life... Eddie M.
