Starting Over

I just wasn't  happy with the center of my RR, and my Step 1 didn't improve anything.  If I didn't start over, I knew I'd lose interest in the RR and I didn't want that to happen.

So  I began again, this time with triangles left from a long ago traditionally pieced quilt and added more triangles cut from 3 old (traditional) blocks. That became my liberated center . Next up was making fabric from more of the original triangles. I cut the made fabric into triangles and added them to the top and bottom of the center block. Then I made more fabric from tiny blue scraps and added a 1" wide border to all sides.

Now I'm smiling and I'm ready to add color for Step 3.

  3. Must get going. Must get going. Must get going. Your block reminds me of a Picasso painting.
