I haven't decided if this alternate block is the one I will use. I'm still just playing. I don't design my quilts before I make them most of the time. I just make some blocks and start designing with them on my flannel covered design walls. I'm never sure if all of the color combinations are going to work and occasionally a few blocks get pulled and don't get used in the original quilt. I also rarely know how big I am making the quilt. I work on it until I'm bored with it and then I know the final size.This is very multicolored right now. The really light fabrics might get pulled now that I see it in a photo. I think I want it more saturated and less contrasty. I'll make another pile of blocks and then play some more.
AND just in case you think I sew all day, I didn't even get into the studio until 7 p.m. I'm trying to tidy up the garage and put away the gardening stuff. I've also started moving furniture to do a really good vacuuming before Thanksgiving. I really do housework too. And take an afternoon nap. And read.

I like how it is turning out. I agree though, the light blocks may be too light. The star block in the middle is a terrific accent.
I love your H quilt it is really colourful and beautiful. Nice work.
I wasn't sure what it was going to look like when you first posted one or two blocks - but it really gives me a good idea now - cool!

I love the star in the middle too. It's llloking so good. So.....with that full schedule, you must sew all night long!!!
I like your accent block and I'd like to see a couple more scattered in amoungst the H blocks. IT really gives it some additional interest. I agree with you on the really light blocks, they almost are a distraction to the design of the quilt.
I love the star block thrown in there. How large are the H blocks? Could you use some of the light ones for journal covers?
Oh I love this. A kind of weaving pattern. Such a refreshing look! It reminds me of something Japanese. Very modern.
I love how this quilt turned out. Great design, great fabrics, great colors. Just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. Inspirational.

I like how you play with the blocks . Maybe use the light H blocks as a gift to someone who loves your fabric ....I can think of someone. Ps charged out Strips that Sizzle from guild library . alot of good information in it.
You are so quick with your sewing, I feel like a slug! I spent yesterday sun up to sun down quilting and although I made progress, there is much to be done. Nice to know you approach the process with an open mind and let it evolve. That's how I like to work too. Looking forward to seeing what I decide.
Beautiful colors! I love the way you work.
I so enjoy watching you play ~ Your designing is always inspirational. And right now I'm thinking of what my intials would look like.

Hi Wanda,
Your H quilt is coming along nicely.
Thanks for letting us peek at your progress.
You might end up with a summer H quilt (the light backgrounds) and a winter H quilt.
