Laundry Basket Quilt Along

After a lot of contemplation, trial and error, I made some changes to Edyta's design by adding some kaleidoscope, the heart and a couple of the other blocks.  I'm pretty happy with the changes.
Design wall Grid (center block photos taken in dim light, so the color is not quite so off in real life)  I love the kaleidoscope ruler I got on Amazon.  I can see a lot of kaleidoscope blocks in my future!
 Now to actually finish sewing all the blocks
It will go quicker now that I have figured out my color and design choices for each block.  
 I see why people love kits, as it removes that very time consuming and error prone steps and you don't have to worry about spending a lot of time and then not liking your creation and starting all over
But you may understand, having a deep need to be the designer in at least part if not all of the process
Isn't it wonderful, the spring wild flowers are coming out!
There are so many pink wild flowers that the Super Moon that occurred a couple weeks ago, was called a pink Super Moon


These colors kind of reminded me of my Alexandrite quilt colors
Well, hopefully I'll be back sooner than later to show the completed bordered and quilted Alexandrite Quilt!
