I'm working on Score 1 from Sherri Lynn Wood's "Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters".
Since I last posted on Floating Squares I've added a fuchsia and orange and a brown and orange section. Two days ago it looked like this; those green squares had been hanging around for about ten days, and I couldn't think what to do with them. They've gone back in the box. Maybe they'll be back; who knows!
Time to change the background:
 |
| Added yesterday: orange (again!) and pink with dark green background |
 |
| Work in progress |
Now I feel like making a section with royal blue and emerald green! But first finish the yellow/pink!

Happy sewing
Marly.

I really like that you are sharing lots of different stages of this quilt - it's interesting to see the choices you make and how things change as you go along. Thanks for linking up with AHIQ.
I am loving this project Marly! Looking forward to seeing the other colours you are thinking of! Have a good week! Christine x
This is fun. I like the process pictures as well.
Really enjoying your progress and colour decisions!
I worked on this score, too and think yours is working much better. What I particularly like is the way you added more than one square of each color until you "had" to add a background filler. Mine ended up with much too much background.
One positive thing I learned from mine was to keep the extra pieces that don't fit in one block. You can add them to another block or use them when putting the blocks together. They mask the boundaries.
What fun you're having here! Thanks for linking with AHIQ.
Very mod....how do you like making this modern quilt???
