Here are mine ready to go, just finished sewing the strips late last night and finished cutting them into strips a bit ago. I used a layer cake and went with the opposite on the color wheel. Since I’m not using face mask prints, I make the purples a little (but not too much) scrappy. Ready for the next steps! Hugs and happy new year all!

Such a quick and fun quilt! I was just collecting clues but I might actually be able to put together a crib-sized quilt today! I hope everyone is piecing together theirs and will have a show and tell later this evening! Happy New Year!

The main reveal is out! (I think there's 1 more clue left of how it looks with the borders)
Gotta say, not necessarily my favorite pattern ever. But I was kinda expecting that given the fact I'm not huge on scrappy quilts.
However, I think I'm going to try changing the orientation (so it'll be a final size of 108x92 instead of 92x108) but keep the diagonal running the same way, so that my directional fabric actually works lol
I'm also going to see if a gradient look can be pulled off with the fabric I got, to minimize the scrappiness. Wish me luck

Vadalia - I hope you can work the layout to keep your directional blocks. Yeah, it really is a busy scrappy quilt. I wish I had known earlier that there was an option for a constant fabric C as I might have gone with that. I have all the blocks made but not assembled. I'm considering making three more blocks and arrange them in a 3 x 3 pattern turned on their side in order to get two charity lap quilts from it. It doesn't seem as busy when smaller.
