I’ve started laying out the blocks to get an idea of how I might want them in the final quilt. The colors are working well together, and I’ll likely use the pink sparkly fabric between the flower blocks as I originally planned.

Eight blocks with a dark middle ring and light outer ring. |
Last I checked, I had an equal number of blocks with a light middle ring/dark outer ring, and a dark middle ring/light outer ring. At this point, there are definitely more blocks with a dark outer ring.

Twelve blocks with a light middle ring and dark outer ring. |
While the quantities were even, I had been thinking of arranging the light and dark blocks in alternating rows to create stripes. Now I’m considering other options — maybe a pattern of light blocks surrounded by dark blocks, or maybe a random mix. Of course, with so many blocks yet to be sewn, the balance could still change considerably.
Yes, I could look ahead at the hexies I’ve already grouped together to become blocks and create whatever light/dark balance I want. But where would the adventure be in that? Part of the fun for me in working on a scrap project is seeing where those scraps take me. It will be exciting to see where this project stands after the next six months.
What long-term projects, or partial projects, are you feeling good about?
