You remember on Friday I showed a stack of fabrics and then several baskets with fabric strips in them. Well over the weekend, mostly Sunday, I turned them into this:
and today I worked some more and turned them into this:
In the first photo the square on the left corner: The center was bothering me very much. I wasn't "feeling it". It was rubbing me the wrong way and my brain couldn't handle the center being seperated like that by a strip. So to I unsewed the just center and reworked it. It took two hours but I'm most assuredly happy now.
The challenge I'm finding in this quilt is value. Fabrics are light or dark or medium. Two of the same of either gets washed out and then we don't see the squares in the squares in the squares. That's what I want! I've also changed my mind from the inspiration piece... still the wonky squares but since my fabric strips are limited I'm going to make 4 smaller blocks and fit them together to make bigger block to alternate with the bigger block. If you don't speak quilt-eze you won't get it. But if you stay tuned you'll see pictures of what I mean.
