mine are light and dark so what I do will have a path for the eye to follow. We are visiting family and staying in an rv park, I brought my stack of two four patches sewed together and am spinning the joins. I gotta have some fabric to play with
all those four patches are also why I'm doing 2" charms for leader/enders for the mystery. such a cute little shape.
I've set aside all the red and black 1.5" patches I've cut over the last year. They will eventually be a word quilt. Don't have nearly enough to even begin though. I have found over the years when doing scrappy, if I leave out the red and black scraps it in a much more cohesive whole. Unless one of those colors are part of the plan of course, last year's mystery was red/white/blue
