I got the blocks sewn together into a top so now I'm ready to work on a border. I was thinking maybe I just need a border on the 2 ends to make it more rectangular. I'll play with ideas later today. Although I'm naming this one Crazy for Red it has probably 50% pink, orange and red/purple added into it. Of course pink is a shade of red so it still qualifies for that name.
The other thing I did yesterday was to sort the plaid and stripe half hexagons into 4 groups. The idea is to design each fourth of it and then sew that one and design the next. There were 4 cuts of most of the plaids and stripes but as few as 1 or 2 of some, 3 of a few, and as many as 6 or 8 of a few. One group has one of each in it.....92 different plaids and stripes. The other groups have 90, 70, and 60. I will do the largest group first, then the 70, next the 90 and lastly the 60 pieces. This should spread the color evenly across the quilt.
Crazy for Red is superb! What a wonderful way to start the day! Who cares if spring takes its time with such beauty greeting us each day. Marnie Haines
