I started cutting for the next few quilts and for my boxes of strips. I'm cutting Kaffes and batiks.
One of the new quilts will be dark diamonds/light diamonds, which are simple blocks made of 2 triangles, but all of the designing has to be done first.
The other one using the same pieces will be rings of dark and light. It has to be designed first and then 2 triangles sewn together too. I will have at least a week of cutting to be ready to design these. I am cutting the squares 6.5" and then in half diagonally so they will finish around 5.5" I wanted them fairly big to show off the Kaffe prints.
Holly M left a comment yesterday that she loved the energy of the zig zag layout on yesterday's quilt. I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was that drew me to it but that was it, energy. Thanks Holly.
