Weekly update: spare parts flimsy

Here's how it started.














Here's the mid-point. Note that I put bullseyes in the 16" stars.  I made two Yankee Puzzle blocks (lower right).

All the time I was in Atlanta (see previous post) I had a clear picture of the spare parts WIP back home on the design wall.

I needed something at the lower right corner to balance the dark-ish turquoise string blocks in the upper left. I then realized the top and bottom halves were off-balance.  (Mind you, I had sections sewn together when I came to these realizations.)









Here's the flimsy!

Note that the green bullseye star is lower and the Yankee Puzzle blocks were taken apart and resewn as strips.  I took out the turquoise string blocks and lightened up the corner considerably.

I auditioned several prints for the border. This picks up the overall color scheme and has some white, but not too much.

57 x 72.  I estimate 3-1/4 yards.

And of course I have many more orphan blocks and spare parts in the box.
