I don't get too fussy getting them exactly square or rectangular, but close.

I appreciate how you showed the different ways to place colors next to each other for maximum impact. It helped me to slow my process and view pieces from several angles before sewing together. Your pointer about keeping some dark pieces was also helpful. Initially I had edited my darks out but after including them, I'm really glad I did! Loving the result!! Keep posting inspirational ideas.

This is fun, and mindless - a great way to sew. Just wish you'd been HONEST and told us what a mess this makes! (Ha, ha.) Hopefully, by the time the quilt top is put together, the mess will have subsided and a few containers will be lowered. Thanks very much for your motivation and posts!
