Blue Triangles Start

 I started sewing pairs of triangles together and put them up on the design wall. One of the things I liked about the Triangle Dance quilt was its liveliness, but I have not yet decided if I want this quilt to share feeling. Originally I conceived it as an all blue quilt.

Here I have cut more blocks and threw them up on the design wall. 

Arranging blocks is often like creating a Sudoku puzzle. It can be tricky to evenly distribute the various prints. Here I tried to put the busier colored lights in diagonal rows. Didn't thrill me.

Here I played with the idea of two different triangles next to each other creating parallelograms. This is a better idea in the imagination than in real life.

When I get stuck I remove ALL the blocks from the design wall and go back to the start. In this case, my original idea (even if I have since wondered if it would be too boring.)

It is quite literally monochromatic (one color) but that's not always a bad thing. I'm going to keep along this route, making more blocks and seeing where it goes. I have kept the busier blue prints in the "light" category for now. I always like to have a little surprise.
