This block is going to together amazingly well. I'm opening every seam to keep the center bulk down. I have too many greens for my liking, but I'm going to work it with more greens in a corner--to blues--deeper blues--lighter--and back to greenish... kind of show the depth of the lake. I think all that sounds like a nice idea, but might go by the wayside. :roll: :roll:

The greens may have to be saved for "A Walk Through the Woods." :lol:

It definitely needs more blues, and especially in the corner triangles... but here's the start of a new top.
First two of the blocks...

That is really pretty! I like your thought of the progression of color, it would look beautiful, like water.

Beautiful Karla. I am looking forward to seeing your finished project!!!!

Me, too, Jim's. :D It's so helpful for me to study a photo--I take lots of them for all my lay outs.

I can see this one will include turning each block the right way for effect... sigh... my next quilt is going to be a Triple Irish Chain--no turning blocks or big decisions in lay-outs with that one! (right?)

LOL Are you paper piecing this one?

MsSage

very pretty and not too much green

barnbum

No--that paper piecing is scary stuff to me-:shock: - I bought a Kaleido-Ruler to cut the triangles. :wink:

That's going to be a stunning quilt! I love the blue batik fabrics you're using, and I like the lights, too!

Well--I took three of the fabrics out of the mix and searched through my batiks and found a small piece of three others that will work. I'm headed to a huge fabric store Friday--so will see if there's something more that will work...I think it needs 2-3 more options with so many pieces in each square.... I'll still use the squares I made... except the first one--I sewed a double layer of a triangle into a slice of that one... and the center is too knotty. :roll: :roll:

I keep wondering what the effect would be if the lights were darks and the darks were lights...
