Work in Progress: Turquoise Strip Quilts

This weekend I spontaneously decided to clean and organize my sewing room. In the process I re-discovered some turquoise strips I had assembled around the time I was working on my Turquoise HST Low Volume Quilt and the Turquoise Chevron Quilt.  I decided to finish ironing and cutting my strips in to 6.5" squares and now I have this on my design wall:

When I was done cutting my strips I realized I had way more blocks than I needed to make 1 baby quilt, so I separated the blocks (I was able to cut 3 blocks from each strip set) and laid out 2 quilts. That means I still have 1 set of blocks to play with.

The blocks on the left in the rail-fence layout have been assembled in to a quilt top and are ready to be basted and quilted. I still need to play with the blocks on the right to make the quilt look balanced with those dark gray prints and the super saturated turquoise fabrics.

Today I'm linking up with Work in Progress Wednesday.

This colour combination is so gorgeous and I love the scrappy feel to the top.

You are well on the way toward balance in the quilt on the left--I love this phase, separate pieces on the design wall that I can play with. Have fun.

The colours are so fresh, like a breath of Spring. You have been busy: clearing out and getting theses two done.
