Positively Scrappy Progress

The Plus blocks are all made and are up on the wall, but not carefully placed yet. I need to move them around so that the same fabric isn't touching itself or in line with itself. And I see two patches that are too dark that need to be replaced, easy fixes at this stage. 

Even though the background fabrics are all low volumes and the Plus fabrics are black or charcoal variations, this quilt has A LOT of color and print in it. So different from how I usually do low volume backgrounds. 

After I get these blocks arranged, I'll make the ones for the tops and bottoms of the half-drop columns. I don't want to make them until I know which fabrics they'll be adjacent to, so I can avoid using those same fabrics. 

These blocks will finish at 8" so the quilt will be 56" by 72", a good size for a throw. 

As is often the case, this new project captured my attention and has completely taken over. I haven't touched any of the other WIPs on my to-do list. Funny how that happens...
