I made 14 blocks from my black & white & bright fabrics, as described in my previous post. I pinned some black and grey solid fabrics on my design wall to see how they would work with the blocks. Here’s what it looks like now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is in gray scale to check for values. I think the black behind the blocks is overwhelming, so I’ll try another shade of gray instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I completed each block, I pinned it to up without any design considerations. Now I need to rearrange the blocks, cut some of them up, and add strips and blocks of the gray fabrics. Looking at the photos above, some of the circle fabrics appear to be eyes staring at me, so those will be the first blocks I cut up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find that having a deadline really gives me the incentive to finish a project, rather than abandoning it partway through and moving on to a new project. There is no specific deadline for this project. I posted about it here and on my Instagram account, partly to record my techniques and progress, but also because I knew it would make me feel accountable to complete it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently came across another link-up that will help me focus on finishing projects. Patty at Elm Street Quilts<\/a> hosts a link-up called One Monthly Goal<\/a>. Finishing this quilt top will be my goal for June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
