I'm almost finished with my version of Long Time Gone, and like you, the Bow Tie blocks just didn't work for me, but I chose Bear's Paw blocks for my substitute. I also substituted for the Jacob's Ladder. I'm calling mine "Long Time Gone Rogue".

The green is very Spring like and ... tired. The yellow is sunny and cheerful. So there you have it, my thoughts exactly. Enjoy the decision making. :^D Good call on the Buckeye Beauty. <br />I love that Georgetown block, both version but like the scrappy one a touch more. I have a box of triangle scraps and I think I found what to do to tame it.

I like that you used a very light (or combination of lights) in your blocks. Of all the LTG quilts I've seen, those with a definitive light/dark contrast in the blocks are the ones I love.Libby in TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709701255260085505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-90670741722424004342017-08-05T18:10:11.491-04:002017-08-05T18:10:11.491-04:00I liked the yellow, not the green so much, but the...I liked the yellow, not the green so much, but the orange really pops!
