Nature abhors a vacuum, just like I can't abide an empty design wall! Yes, the yellow and floral blocks will get there eventually, but for now they are just strips and 4 patch units. I have the triangles to cut before I get the blocks rolling.
So out came the box of batik cobblestones, inspired by Wanda's creations, that I have been working on---off and on--for about a year. She did a series of small quilts using her cobblestone blocks and also strips. I was fascinated by them and started on a box of batik scraps I had. I was surprised at how many I had put together from left over pieces from projects. Batiks always amaze me because no matter what you put in the mix, they just seem to work well together.
Anyway, I am just moving them around and trying to balance out the colors and values for now. This throw will probably end up about 45" by 60"! A nice size from just scraps. That's a great serendipity.
Happy stitching.

Wow, that is gorgeous!! It makes me want to start another one, lol!! I have been tossing around the idea of making the blocks larger, like 8"-10" and making a bed quilt.
Looking fabulous!
