They bore me to tears. But I liked this design, and I have to make a quilt for a special little rug rat and I thought this could be fun. So I've got the book and I've selected my fabric and the other night while watching Elementary on OnDemand, I cut out all the strips.
One thing that bugged me was that Amy's instructions didn't indicate which fabric was which. She mentions A1, A2, A3, D1, D2, D3 and D4, and I know that means Lights (A) and Darks (D) but I wanted to know which of the fabrics she used was which so I could make my own substitutions while keeping the value distribution she had designed.
While dinner bubbled in the slow-cooker, I sewed the dark blocks together. Naturally I did a bit of fabric rearranging. Next up, the light blocks.

I like Amy's designs, they lend themselves to all sorts of color choices. This one looks like great fun, especially the blueberry faboo fabric.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Will be fun to watch this one develop!
I thought your light value fabrics were particularly interesting. Looikng forward to seeing this project develop.
