Design wall time.........

I rewarded myself with some design time last night.  Earlier in the afternoon I had passed on my portion of a project to a group that is going to finish it and I finally have some free time.  None of these are sewn, just placed on the design wall.  I think my fabric selection is working well.  How did I select them?  I just pulled a bunch of my favorite batiks, the ones that had been too precious to cut, and then added a few strategic values that were missing.  I think I will limit myself to just this group.  I have enough of each fabric left to cut a few more pieces if I want to make it larger.
This is the view from my mailbox (lower right corner of the photo).  I took my mail out of the mailbox and immediately went to get my camera.  The close up shot a couple days ago is of the lower branch on the left side of the tree in my neighbor's yard.  I have to duck under it when mowing.
