Ignore, even, the attempt at a drop shadow around the "N." (The idea is good; the execution - not so much.) The fabrics here were from my "fugly" collection. This word is a mock-up.Just look at the letters. I'm playing with the shape of them. I've left this photo enormous, so you can click and then click again for lots of detail.
I already know the answer, and I'll tell you in my next post. The answer may surprise you.

Hhhmmmm, I "think" I finally got it--you're playing on the statement--fun is the only word that plays by the "rules" I.e. It's the only word done all in the same fabric....I'm probably way off base here....
I think Liz has hit the nail on the head.
Right?
I wondered that, but it doesn't obey other rules ... like it has lower case u and capital N
I see it a different way. iF YOU ObeY ...... you're emphasising the stress points?
I think you're pushing yourself to do something different from the earlier rules quilts, to advance your lettering repertoire, trying to let the letters/words represent what they 'say' and 'mean' ... in other words, you're having fun with what you're doing (along with plenty of agonizing between there and here). I also think you will do the right thing when you're done trying out variations.
I like the extra big size and the color. looks like you're adding some shadows, or at least thinking about it. more fun letters for the next orphan quilt!
I so love this quilt, and the original. It makes me want to make my own. (And I do plan on trying one - real soon now!)
