This could work nicely in other colour combos too, I am sure.
Curious? did you start with layer cake size?
For the random cuts, did you stack a bunch together? Or cut each piece on its own?
And then I am guessing, you would have to trim them all down to size.
Great idea to stabilize the crumbs B+W pieces onto adding machine tape!!
Well Done ... Maybe you should keep it permanently, instead of just for awhile?

I did not use layer cakes, but that would certainly make sense and be easier. I happened to have some yardage cuts that I used and cut up. blocks were trimmed to 11.5 inches (finished at 11"). I did cut all of them individually. again, would've been easier to stack them. Oh well, I don't always have the best planning!
Check out another recent picture posted called Layer Chops. Her quilt inspired me to post my quilt and shows a different colorway and slightly different style.
Such a simple pattern but ends up so striking!
