of what I might have done - and it is still an option.
Forever Plaid, 18" x 18"
Instead, I did my usual "throwing at the wall and see what sticks" routine and played with the pieces on this bright, sunny (so far) Sunday morning. Not sure about it, so I will leave it there and contemplate it for a few days. This is already not quite the original arrangement. Maybe it is the center of something or maybe it will remain a small piece. Dunno.
I brought the original blocks home from the studio on Friday and did the work at home yesterday. Perhaps I will go back to the studio and retrieve more of the original block fabrics and expand this piece.
If I had not sliced the redone blocks at all or if I had sliced them into thirds, this would be a different piece. And it may yet end up a different piece. Or not. it's not there yet - wherever "there" is. But this is where it is today.
After lunch, the studio to see what develops.

I almost want to stitch up some nine patches so that I can play along at this!!
Huge improvement, but I agree that it's not thee yet. I love lime green, but that vertical piece right smack in the center is overpowering (IMHO).
Well for the first time ever, I've been working more in your style this week - than mine. Its very freeing - as this post shows! Its fun to just sew and sew - and throw 'em up on the board to see what happens. I love studying value and shape this way!
What a difference! In the funky version, I hardly see the original pieces of fabric any more; in the second one, they become part of something new, so they lose their original character.
As usual, I'm in awe of what you do with something I'd toss. Brilliant! oxoxo
