I have completed five blocks. I don’t have a design wall so I’ve laid them on the floor in my sewing studio area. Although it’s difficult, I can still manage to get down, and then up again, as I move blocks around on the floor.

This is a first go at laying out blocks – I will actually complete all 19 blocks I’m working on before making any decisions about placement. I don’t intend to use all of them in the quilt top – I’m building as many as I am so I have some for the back (or a second quilt – I have a ton of strips of all three sizes – another quilt is taking shape in my head). I will also need a bunch of predominantly “white” blocks to fill in many of the spaces. I will also need many half blocks to fill in around the edges – how many will depend on how many I put in the rows and columns.

What I have on the floor at the moment is a placeholder – it will get changed as each new block is auditioned in the array.

Gotta go make more blocks…
