Plan D -

 

I sorted the strips into two groups - 

Those that contrasted with the "Plan C batik" - on the left - 

And those that contrasted with the TURQUOISE - on the right -

Then I made some HST using my LEFT-EZE™ Rule -   

And played with some block layouts -

Nothing is "sewn together" -

They are all just patches on the design wall - for now - 

I tried this one first -

Then thought I might use it for the center block -

So I switched out the center HST for a solid TURQUOISE square - 

And reversed the light/dark in the smaller HST -

But then realized that the center block needs darker ones on the outside edges - 

So I did a different layout -

Then I made a couple more -

And I was not seeing what I expected to see - 

My color combinations weren't working - 

There was too much TURQUOISE - 

And the rest of them looked "muddy" -

But they all look so pretty on the cookie sheet - LOL -

They are playing so nicely there -

Why aren't they playing nicely on the design wall? -

Then I realized that they were talking to me - 

They don't want to be HST in Gene's HST Medallion Quilt -  

Sorry, Gene!! - 

These guys want to be simple little 9-patches - 

They want to be Churn Dash Blocks - 

So that's "Plan D" - LOL -

And tomorrow I have more cutting to do -

After my "chores" - ;))

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
