Crosswalking

To keep motivated on the Patchwork Palooza front, after my recent catch-up, I decided to put them all up on the wall "in order" with the setting blocks (but not the sashing/cornerstones yet). Only two blocks left to make, and I want to make sure this scrappy thing is staying scrappy *enough* for me. Nothing says the blocks have to be in this arrangement, it's just the one the pattern designers came up with.

I did have the idea to switch this picture over to black and white, and wow, what difference this makes. The really hot one in the lower left corner is almost the same weight as the setting chain blocks.

In order to stay "caught up" with Patchwork Palooza, I jumped right on it and started making the newest one from this week, block number 20 (!), named Crosswalk. This was my initial fabric placement,

but I thought it was worth looking at alternatives. Much better.

I had to leave myself some breadcrumbs, ie labeling all the fabrics after swapping them around so many times.

The labels worked, and the block went together pretty easily.

 Just one more block to go...and the sashing/cornerstones and assembly of course.

Definitely too much of this one blue fabric down in the lower left corner, so those blocks will get sprinkled around the quilt I think, maybe in all four corners.
