Neither one of us liked that.
However we both liked it better upside down.
We talked about seeing all the Zebra quilts together (yesterday's post) and I said, you know, it would be interesting to cut the Firebird quilt in half vertically and swap the two halves. You'd get an X in the middle. Then I got an idea.
About ten years ago when I was making Nine x Nine, I took a picture of my colored words, printed it in color and then cut the words apart. I was able to figure out how I wanted to arrange them without getting up and down the ladder sixty million times. I don't have access to a color printer at the moment, but I DO have a printer...
It's amazing what you can do with a picture and a pair of scissors!
Oh, the things you can discover if you use your noodle!
There's nothing I like better than pushing an idea around and seeing where it goes.

Did you say these were the Scraps?!?!?
My oh My they are so beautiful!
That last picture is the best!
Leftovers can be magic - we both know that. And playing with them is THE MOST FUN. What a great post to illustrate that part of your process.
Just amazing. So much fun.
It always amazes me how much a quilt can change simply by moving the blocks around. Have fun with this.
Amazing blocks and so interesting how the layout gives a totally different look. I'd love to be able to play with your scraps. Have fun!
I have thought about doing this. Now I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.
