I'm not enjoying having them sitting on the floor, but it took a LONG time to work out the positions of the blocks. I wanted to make sure no fabric was joined to the same fabric in another block, creating a long chain of the same fabric (including two squares of the same fabric) and spoiling the scrappiness of it.
I got there, but it was a complicated undertaking - so the blocks are not moving until they are sewn into position!
I have taken the decision based on the amount of fabric I had that the Scrappy Trip element of the quilt should be 4x4 12" blocks. I decided there probably wasn't enough fabric to make 6x6 and I don't necessarily want to make it too big for me to handle at this stage. I'm planning on adding a navy border around these blocks (which will also be good for me in the squaring up stage) to make it slightly bigger.
I do however have lots of blue strips left...there might need to be a matching cushion!

That's looking beautiful. So vivid.
ReplyDeletethat is one of the pretties ones I've seen! Mine ended up being small, probably toddler sized, I need to finish it up and donate it or something :)
