On my design wall

 

Here’s one of my many WiP (works in progress).

Last week I pulled out my ziploc bags full of scraps, and started piecing by color.

I surrounded each block with a white border and another border of color, then pieced them all on a solid grey background.  I hadn’t really planned the final size, and as usual when I improv piece, the quilt ends up bigger than expected!  It’s about 50 by 60 inches.

This past weekend I pieced the back, and this week I plan to layer and quilt it.

I’m linking up with these blogs for WiP Wednesday.  Click on the buttons below to see all the people participating, and check out their projects.
