I finished another section of the page, so this is just over 2% of the final design. Cheers! I'm trying parking in larger sections, like 3 or 4 rows of a page at a time. Maybe smaller sections for the next page where there are more color changes. By the time I finish something, I'll have tried so many different ways that one is bound to become my favorite. So far I like highlighting in pink and when the stitches are complete, coloring over the boxes in blue. Can you tell what my favorite color is? And side note, I can't believe how many colors were used in the bottom right portion of this. Green, purple, pink, blue, gray, and I swear there were like 2 odd stitches of brown? lol How cool is that?!
I must add - quilt progress is happening slowly. Soon I will have to migrate to the bonus room to block some more random greens into almost square rectangles. Here's what I have so far before I cut the first block. The blocks will eventually go together in rows to make 2x60 and 1x90 inch by 11 inch strips of green, and 1x60 and 1x90 inch by 11 inch strips of yellow. Then I'll sew those together and sew on a rectangular 30x33 inch section of red with a big white star. Imagine the American flag except with 5 stripes and one star.. Or look at a photo. The red and white portion will be pieced with random "scraps" I get from a BUNCH of fabric quarter patterns that seemed to go decently together in similar toned white/red prints. Anyway, back to the photo. I changed my mind from trying to do one huge piece to doing a series of smaller rectangles, but I'm sure it will be fine since the point was for the patchwork to be as random as possible.
