lovely shares, thank you everyone.
I've switched horses midstream
I made those 4" center blocks into strings, brown for the red and yellow blocks and grays for the gray blocks.
But I like strings on the diagonal rather than up and down, so am working on standard block placement with 1" sashings and gold corner stones. I'm liking it so far.
Which makes the setting triangles wrong... so my current idea is reverse every other one which will give me a straight border. Followed by a string border. Lots of thinking not much sewn
I got all the sashing cut today and started the corner stones...baby steps.
Photos in a few days.
Having played on the working wall with different ideas the gray blocks make a lovely quilt all by themselves. The headless geese give a little curved interest which is unusual.
