Decision time..........


I made the last three blocks for the Marcia Derse fabric Gridlock quilt top.  Now I have to make the decision whether I am going to add a narrow strip into any of the 4.5" strips in the blocks.  The bottom strip on all 4 of the blocks on the left side is a full 4.5" strip with no narrow strips breaking it up.  There are 7 more blocks like that scattered through the other 4 columns.  I moved several of the 36 patch blocks to new positions.  I'm happy with all but the middle block in the second horizontal row.  I don't hate the block but might consider changing a couple strips in it.

I found a new setting on my camera that I think works better for high contrast areas in my quilts.  I changed it from auto to Program and then went into the menu and turned on the Contrast feature from OFF to Auto.  I'm using a Canon Powershot SX150.  The camera before this one was purchased in 2008.  I'm guessing this one was probably purchased between 2012 and 2014.

  5. This quilt is so gorgeous Wanda! It just gets better and better with each block you've added. I might have to give this pattern a try. Looks like a fun one to experiment with.

  6. I was thinking of you yesterday while I was playing with a piece of MD fabric. I like all of your blocks, but tend to agree with you on that particular block. This is looking really great!
