I've had a few days off so I have been making more blocks for my Reading in Bed quilt, which I have retitled "Reading Out Loud." I have done my calculations, and I needed 7 more blocks for the top. I still need about 24 half blocks for the edges, as this quilt will be set on point.
So I decided to lay them all out, just so I could take a look at them all.
The new blocks (more on the right, in the photo above) tend to look a bit more sedate and less wonky. All of the blocks looked very unique and "block-like." Few of them interacted with the sashing fabric the way this one does
Which is to say, this one plays games with the sashing by almost disappearing.
I like that, so I decided that for the last few blocks, I would really play with that concept, and use fabrics for the outer pieces that were only black and white.
I am definitely feeling a wonky vibe going on, and I like it! Now to make the half blocks and start assembling this top!

Woah. I absolutely love where you've gone with this, and always appreciate seeing your process. You're an inspiration.
I like the idea of some disappearing into the sashing.
Very nice and a great opportunity to practise with colors, tones and blends.
Oh, that is going to be such a cool quilt!!! Reading Out Loud is a great name for a quilt!
What fun!
