More on the design wall..................
I took off the last large block on the right top that I had on there in yesterday's post. The borders are 9" each so that is 18" added to the width so I didn't need that 12". I'm almost done filling in here except for the 3" blocks.
I went back down to do laundry and decided to fill in with the 3" blocks while I was there. I also cut the fabric Kaffe used for his first border and pinned it up on the right side of the top. I didn't follow the diagram in the book exactly in the last vertical section on the right. I thought I was maybe done designing and then noticed I don't have any 12" blocks in the right vertical column.
I just pinned one in place over the top of the existing pieces to see if it will look more balanced. I will have to change the fabrics that will now be 3" squares along the edges of the 12" block if I leave it there. I'm not sure the 9" shell fabric will stay in there if I put the 12" block in. I'll look at it a few times today and hopefully make a decision.

This quilt is going to be stunning! Those floral fabrics are gorgeous!
I love the flowers and other fabrics but not crazy about that shell fabric. I do know that when you finish tweaking this top though, it will be perfect.
It all looks great. You could probably rearrange until the cows come home, but I know you will find the combo you like. Thanks for sharing!
Oooooh, I love this!
I'm sure you will work those shell blocks in perfectly. They do catch my eye whenever I study this piece.
Another cold day here, and frost warnings for over night. We did wake up to snow on the mountain tops two mornings in a row.

Oh, Wanda, this is just gorgeous! I wait impatiently for each new step.
I am drooling over this quilt. Wild and red! My favorite! So fun seeing you create, Wanda.
By the way I did find the name of that quilt design I had asked you about. I posted a request on my blog and got an answer back the very same day! It's called Endless Chain from the 1940's. So fun to learn something new!
