I like this look. I can see that using a design wall would make such a difference. Guess this is one I probably won't be able to make though - I have 6 cats and they think the design wall is really a climbing wall. Anytime I put blocks up they pick them off and mess them all up. You have a nice system of keeping track!

Thank you ladies for all your nice compliments.
I sewed one section all together to see how large it was. It measure 50 inches. I would like it to be at least 60 or a little more...60x60 is a nice size.
It is important to always leave two or three rows undone so you know where you left off. I will make another 12 inch piece to add to the side of the finished one and will continue that amount on the undone rows also. I had to check to make sure that I had some of the same fabrics left to finish the side blocks and I did wheeeeee
I cut a punch more squares, as I ran out lol. and more 2.5 strips to cut now. I can't imagine how much scrap I have in that bin. It is amazing how many free quilts are in there. When you think, that it cost about 100.00 to make a quilt top...yet when you make a scrap quilt out of the bin, it is so satisfying and if you were in the market to sell quilts, I bet you get more for the scrap, than the planned quilt lol.

I can see that those white lady bug crosses really stand out. I found some more of that fabric and will include some more of those. I found lots of pink and green strips, so I will be switching out some of those dark crosses in the undone rows. I will also be using some of the scraps from SIP (Shakespeare in the Park).
