Ramming and Jamming in the Color

The top is done. 53x59" Cottons, pieced, unquilted

Well this was fun. Next is the sandwiching and quilting. I no longer have my big studio table which would help a lot now.

I did not design this before I started. I just made huge blocks from squares and strips and then found ways to align them so they looked semi-cohesive. It is the only way I really wanted to do this. Planning only gets me so far and then I get distracted by a leftover and start putting that with something else. I kept my laptop nearby and my two Nancy Crow books handy, just to help with my confidence.
You just can't go wrong with squares and strips.
Here's my recipe: Cut strips from each color in several widths, like 1.5x45" 1.75 and 2"
Cut wider strips, like 4 or 5" x45" and cut off a few squares from those wider strips.
Surround the squares with strips, making framed squares.
Make strip sets.
Combine strip sets with framed squares.
Assemble.
