Changed layout..............


Yesterday morning I decided to go back to one of the layouts I showed in my first post about these blocks. (second collage, layout on the right).  I took this photo late in the afternoon with the sunshine on the bottom row.


Then I decided to turn it on its side and add the top row to the ends of the existing rows.  It looks like electrical current going ZAP!  I made the last 2 blocks last night but didn't photograph it again because I was going to rearrange a few blocks.  This photo was taken in late afternoon daylight without turning on my lights so the next photo should be better.

It got up to 62 degrees yesterday so I went outside and cut all of the old Sedum flower stalks and did a little raking. Today is supposed to be warm too and then rain off and on for 4 days so I'll do a little more outside work.

I finished the day cutting that last batch of pinks and sewing the corners on.  I found that heart fabric and had to add it.  As soon as I finish tweaking the half rectangle Kaffe quilt I will sew it and then I can get back to the layout of the pink blocks.

  1. I like the side setting you've put together a lot.;))
    Still too cold here to go out and do anything in our gardens--the ground is still frozen pretty much...lots of frost this morning...we are hoping for a shift to warmer temps this week.

  2. What a good name for this quilt ZAP! I was thinking it had a real zig zag look to the design. The weather has been unseasonably warm here and there is no more frost in the ground. I have a lot of cleaning up to do and like you, plan on pacing myself. I sure hope digging up those ornamental grasses will not be horrible. They can be tough to dig up.

  6. Really glad you experimented with other layouts--I like both of these new ones a lot! The first one from before not so much--looked cramped.

  7. Love the energy in the zig zags. So much great color. Looks good turned either way. Pinks are reminding me of flower petals.

  8. Either way I love the zig-zag's. But the question is ... Are you happy with it or will you still pursue yet another layout ? 😉

    Your pinks you have been showing are so refreshing. Such a sweet quilt for baby in the making.

  10. Those rich colours are mouth-watering! Definitely has the look of an electric current - ZAP is a great description.
