I started sewing the blocks together (far right).
As usual, when blocks are sewn together the design really starts to pop, and I am liking where this is going.
I particularly like this shape at the top of this photo. I had to do a bit of thinking...
The top drawing emphasizes the new shape I like, the bottom one is the original layout. Both of them cut off the design at either side. The quilt is designed to be 10 blocks across, and what do I do with the extra rows at either side? Neither one floats my boat.
Since I believe that you really need to SEE something in real life, I sewed a row of triangles to place beside a panel of three vertical rows I had already sewn together.
As I lay the strips together on the floor, I saw this... which answered all my questions. ALL I HAVE TO DO is rotate the design 90 degrees, and I can get THREE perfect four row designs on my quilt.
I like this a lot better, so now I have some rearranging to do.

Amazing what a 90 degree turn can do, isn’t it? From meh to wow!
