With two projects of 100 blocks going at the same time, I needed some changes. No more posting individual pictures, that is what Instagram is for.
So I’m showing groups of blocks instead, these are from the #100blocks100days.
You wouldn’t know it, but the sashing on the green block and the bright yellow and turquoise rosettes are the same fabric. It is a colorful stripe fabric that lends itself to fussy cutting.
I also realized that making a block a day is a recipe for disaster, so I make a bunch at a time. Then I post the correct one on the correct day. Of course, I’m not the only one doing this, people are busy with their lives. It’s fun to keep up with the daily post. We are at the midway point, and I’m getting a little bored, with both projects. At least with this one, I have the book, I’m plowing forward.
The more blocks I have, the more scrappy it is becoming. Initially, I thought I’d group the blocks by value, or by the similar fabrics. Now I’m just slapping them up on the design wall and going as random as possible. By the time I have all the blocks, I will come back and look at the different groupings and I will probably spend the time to create a cohesive quilt. 
I knew I had more yellows, I just didn’t know where I had stashed them! They were in a bag, I think I was going to take them to a sew-in. Glad I found them now, they will add a lot of fun variety in my yellow theme.
The splendid sampler is different. Two new blocks every week, I have no idea what it will be until it drops. The dark green in the foreground had wonky corners – on purpose! That literaly gave me hives, so I redrafted the points so they were symetrical and they matched. Many people on the FB page commented that they were doing the same. There was another embroidery block, heart and flowers – gag me. I’m over doing all the blocks. I’m doing what I like. I may end up with too many blocks or too few, either way, I can always fill in with a block of my choice. 
Scott Hansen designed the block on the far left. He commented that he likes my color choices. They make the block look very different from his. That is the fun about this project, everyone is putting their individual stamp on it.
Here are my 67 blocks so far. Still liking my color story, liking that I have incorporated more blocks with dark backgrounds. This is a random setting, there will be sashing and more thought put into the final design, but that isn’t happening until February.
Until then, I’m keeping going.
