My mission to clear the design wall continues. Remember back in January when I started playing with the
scrappy Homespun stars? Well, I just kept playing with them off and on.
I really enjoy the pattern and liked seeing the result of new colour combinations.
Slowly they added up to enough for another Quilts for Survivors flimsy, but how to lay them out? I had just made blocks in colours that I liked with no real plan, and when I started to lay them out I wasn't that keen on butting them up squarely to each other. Ah, the joys of just starting to sew without a plan!
How about staggering them? I liked that.
So I ripped two blocks into halves, and made a few more half blocks to fill in the gaps along the top and bottom.
But there is still the question of colour placement. I tried transitioning from pink to yellow to green to blue but ultimately decided that it wasn't working for me.
So on a whim I nestled all of the pink/yellow blocks in the centre and moved the blues and greens to the top and bottom, and I liked that. Stay tuned!....M
