I've continued to sew my 2.5" scrap squares into sixteen patch blocks. My tin looked like this when I began:

And this is what it looks like today:
The stacks at the top had four or more patches of a single print in them. The stacks in the middle were two or three of a print, and the bottom stacks were single squares.
And now this is what my design wall currently looks like:
Some of the blocks are very controlled while others have a wide variety of prints in them. Mostly I let color drive my placement decisions. The two blocks below have a variety of prints but read and red, white, and blue on top and black drives the lower block.
This pair of blocks are more controlled: blue and yellow, then green and yellow.
This may or may not make assigning block placement a challenge. That remains to be seen!
Well Sue its definitely coming along! I just love your creativity and look forward to your final block placement.. Its been a sick house here... a rotavirus has knocked us down... hubby worse than me.. its like i caught a milder version of it.. but still... uuughh... we are in recovery mode and slowly getting better... I felt good enough to stick my nose in the craftroom last night so thats a positive sign! Take care.. stay cool! HOT here in TX hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour temporary display actually works well. The contrasts within each block are just different enough from the adjacent block that each one stands out.
ReplyDeleteI think both controlled and scrappy will play well together - what a fun quilt top to explore this will be!
ReplyDeleteI adore that print near the bottom of the post, with all the lighthouses on white background! You've made amazing progress, and I love the combination of different block types.
