It's a top! -

 

This morning I finished webbing the columns - 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Gleaned - top -
Gleaned - © Carolyn Friedlander - Robert Kaufman - 

And then sewed all of the vertical seams -

So now it's a top!! -

Ta Dah!! - ;))

I like how the coloring of the blocks make them look "pixelated" -

I decided to run the dominant ORANGE down the longest diagonal -

And the second ORANGE a couple of rows below that -

One set had WHITE squares going diagonally from the left to the right - 

Another set had WHITE squares "stair-step" in the other direction -

 The BROWN and GREEN ones filled in the rest nicely - 

It even looks good upside down - LOL - ;))

 

 

This block pattern is my "go-to" with odd-ball jelly rolls - 

And with this layout it's fairly easy to spread the colors to balance them out - 

Each set of six blocks makes one diagonal row -

And automatically fills in the corner in the same sequence - 

First I decided which one I wanted to be SET #2 - the longest diagonal - ORANGE - 

Then I chose the prettiest BLACK/WHITE for SET #1 - the row above the ORANGE -

 

And then the order I wanted the rest of the blocks in the FIRST column -

I had 4 dominant/center colors - and two SETS of each - so I labeled them A and B - 

And came up with this sequence -

1. Black/white - A
2. Orange - A
3. Brown - A
4. Green - A
   
5. Black/white - B
6. Orange - B
7. Brown B - 
8. Green B -
   

Then I set up a simple stair-step layout - 6 columns - 8 rows - 

1. Set 1-8-7-6-5-4
2. Set 2-1-8-7-6-5
3. Set 3-2-1-8-7-6
4. Set 4-3-2-1-8-7
5. Set 5-4-3-2-1-8
   
6. Set 6-5-4-3-2-1
7. Set 7-6-5-4-3-2
8. Set 8-7-6-5-4-3

Trust me - it's easier to DO than it is to EXPLAIN - LOL - ;))

Tomorrow I plan to play with Gene's HST Medallion Quilt - 

And try to decide what color(s) I'm going to use - 

In addition to the pretty jelly roll and turquoise batik - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
