More blocks added

All I got done yesterday in quilt related activity was 3 more blocks to finish the layout. I am still contemplating making 2 wallhangings instead of a quilt. Right now I think this one would be in the range of 64" x 80". If I made 2 wallhangings they would be in the 50" square range. I will play with setting triangles and then make my decision. Actually I could go back into my photo program and crop this and see what it looks like with half blocks as setting triangles. I always check Sitemeter in the morning to see how many people visit before I post. This morning there were already 120 visitors by 8 a.m. I checked the referring URL's and a bunch of people came from a yahoo group. Since I can't find out what anyone said that would bring so many visitors, I want to think they said something good, and welcome the new visitors.

    Wanda I'd vote for the big quilt - I just love big quilts I guess. If it was me and I made 2 wallhangings then I'd think I had to give one away and I have such a hard time giving up my babies. :( I think that means I'm selfish. Doggone it, I need to work on that. Blessings, marlene

    Looks so good Wanda. I wonder what half blocks would look like as setting triangles...i think i would like that. How was the sweet corn? Love it fresh from the field.

    I like the idea of 1/2 blocks in place of 'formal' setting triangles...

    And I would lean towards developing two smaller pieces (especially with your amazing eye for color).

    Love to watch your work-in-progress!

    I think half squares as setting triangles will look fabulous! I'd be tempted to make a large quilt too -- as it will be so spectacular. Not to say that two wall hangings wouldn't be fantastic too -- but a large quilt in that design would be really breathtaking.
    I bet someone has said something about your amazing use of colour on some Yahoo group and that sent them all over to look!

    I read somewhere that another quilter tosses some fabric on the floor, then adds/removes pieces until she gets combos that she likes. That made me curious about how you select your color combinations. I know that you don't eenie-meanie or throw darts! LOL. Or is this a great secret only known to color experts as yourself?

    The wood-grain sashing looks so beautiful with these blocks. I love the full impact of all the colors, so I'd vote to keep it as one big quilt instead of two wall-hangings.

    You do such beautiful work!

    The link (one of the?) to your blog came from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville Chat Yahoo group, who are just finishing up the Orange Crush Mystery.

    Your good information about needles was the start of the click-fest. My guess is that the sheer bee-yoo-ty of your quilts got people to stick around!

    I love the color and fabric in this layout. I tend to go rather traditional or primitve. I need to start using more color!

    I'm sure somebody said something good! I have seen many wonderful comments about you and your blog.

    Love those blocks. I'm seeing the finished quilt with half-blocks as setting triangles, and no borders.

    I would love that to be a big quilt. You have to handle it though, so I am sure whatever you decide will be wonderful.
