I had about a yard left and ended up cutting the short sideways repeats in order to get my square pieces. For the squares I didn't need 8 repeats, just 4. So now I have a few scraps I can use to add some color to the borders and I have a selvedge edge piece that is 8" wide and about 45" long. It doesnt' quite show the entire original repeat, but its pretty close and the general idea is there :). I think I will clean up my scrappy mess and start sewing tonight!
I need to work on a block swap I am doing. Not behind but need to get back on track. I also need to sew the kaleidoscope blocks together for my nieces quilt top :). It's main color palette is purple and yellow.
