Hi All,

It's taken me two days to get the units for the second block ready to sew together, in between other tasks. Those chevron units were a real trial. It wasn't until I went to join the two halves together that I realised that I had cut about 20 of the medium base fabric at 4" instead of 3.5", so my friend the frog came to visit for the afternoon.... .

So my 9-patches are now ready to sew together.

But see what happens if I rotate the chevron units:

Now isn't that an interesting secondary pattern?

So I played around with my 6 blocks on the wall, and came up with this idea:

Obviously bright orange is the wrong colour here, but I can see something like this in my future, perhaps in calming greens. (Also much bigger units lol).

In the meantime I'm looking forward to getting all my train-ride blocks assembled tomorrow .

It's been lovely seeing everyone's colours coming together .
