Positive and negative

When I read the word proposed by Misik, what first came to my mind was repetition as a principle of design. When working on my quilts I always keep in mind the importance of repetition, but never on its own: it has to be combined with other principles, such as balance, space, unity, rhythm, contrast.

My second thought was about the endless repetitive speech of my husband who has advanced dementia. Things are quite difficult at the moment. But quilting helps me get away from sad thoughts and keeps me going.

My piece for this challenge will be based on my first, positive thoughts, not on the second ones.
