Trippin'


I have been tripping along.  First of all, I really appreciated the advice that Katie posted in the Flickr group.  Katie mentioned sticking to a loose colour scheme to control the scrappy and get a cohesive look overall.  I discarded my test blocks of last weekend as I felt they were... blah!  I was using "icky-ish" fabric just to see if I was having fun.  I was having fun.    I have no idea how many blocks I will make but will figure that out as I go along.

Today, I cut a bunch of strips and got busy.  I have decided to do the blocks in groups of four and to have a common coloured diagonal in each grouping.  You can see that I have a group with a green diagonal and then I started  yellow diagonal group.  I am really liking the happiness of the blocks.  It makes me think of spring coming.  Hey, I  will try anything to think of spring.  We are in a cold snap!


Linking up with Judy's design wall Monday!!!!

  5. I'm looking forward to following you on this "trip". I plan to do the same soon as my scrap bucket gets a little bit fuller! I have been looking for the 9patch scrap pattern, but havent seen one I really liked till yours. I hadn't thought/heard about having a main color strip in each patch as you mention and I really like that idea. I was having trouble deciding "where to start"! Keep me posted on your progress!!!!
