The quilt top is finally filled in, although I’m probably going to change the two top corners. I did a kluge, building on a partial block I had left over from the light blocks which I cut on the diagonal. However, the orientation of the corner blocks is obviously out of synch with the rest of the triangle border – I have to build one more large block and cut it into quarters to get the corner orientation I’m after.

Also this probably isn’t the final block placement – I’m happy with the bright blocks, but the light ones are still place holding. Nevertheless, you get the drift of how the quilt top will look.

I have to clear some of the mess on my cutting table and around the machine I was using to piece these blocks before I can assemble the top. Also I now need to think about what to do with the back! And it’s not too soon to consider how to actually quilt the project. Because the piecing is intricate, I may not get away with an embroidery based on curved elements. I may have to actually do a lot of echo quilting along the diagonals – not sure how my back will stand up to that close work!

For now, I better build two new corner blocks for the upper corners…
