This week has been an all or nothing week; with much time "wasted" (you know ~ internet browsing, shopping, hair appointment, catching up with friends ~ the fun stuff) in between bursts of frantic piecing, usually late at night.
Once all the Half Square Triangles were pieced I played with the layout for quite some time, arranging and re-arranging the unit orientation as well as the color sequence with which I am now (finally) pleased. I am still considering adding sashing strips between some or even all of the rows.
Fabrics used: Alexander Henry ~ Heath (Black) as well as Kaffe Fassett - Shot Cottons, except for the solid black fabric which is Robert Kaufman ~ Kona Cotton (Pepper)

I hope you don't sash! It is stunning just the way it is. Love this one!!
ReplyDeletei love it!! it looks great the way it is!!
ReplyDeleteNeat, I like it the way it is!
ReplyDeleteDon't sash it Rita, it's fantastic as it is. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! Somehow looks Native American... Maybe it would look nice if you have the arrows pointing in opposite directions?
ReplyDeleteThis is looking really cool, Rita! I'm having a similar week, but you've got me beat on piecing.
ReplyDeletethat beauty! always surprises with his designs
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, yeah, very cool! I like the sashing between the colors. Brilliant arrangement!
ReplyDeleteYou have arranged it perfectly, in my opinion! But I am so curious what some other configurations would have looked like.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful.
ReplyDeletethis is dreamy.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about fish bone, I love it. So much beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteUps and downs! I love the layout. Can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteooo I love this. I like the use of grey as a neutral instead of black or white. I might have to try that with some of my projects too. Love the layout and the bright colours too. Love all of it.
ReplyDeleteOoops, by grey I meant the print and how it looks grey from a distance :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is amazing! No sashing emphasizes the two directional Escher-esque qualities of the design, and I love the way that the spectrum of colors pops against the Heath grey.
ReplyDeleteIn my book, that's a lot of progress in a week!
I love this layout of blocks & colours too .... it will be splendid
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! My unsolicited opinion is no sashing too. Just wow!
ReplyDeleteso cool!

Sometimes simple is best... will go hunt for solid colours at my favorite shop now, cause I need to play with them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful work-in-progress, I look forward to seeing it completed
Eeeks, that's GORGEOUS! I am inspired, I want to make....shame my fabric is all packed away for our move! I shall keep my eyes peeled for the finished quilt.....thanks for the motivation.
ReplyDeleteWow. So simple, but so effective and looks wonderful already!!
ReplyDeleteSash, don't sash; sash some; I don't think it matters. When I saw the pictures I said "WHOA" out loud! This is special.
ReplyDeleteLove it just as it is! Stunning pattern and colour Rita. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling! Love it soooo much :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it as it is. What colour sash would you use.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this, Rita!
ReplyDelete; )

ReplyDeletethis has to my one of my favourites - LOVE the colours. amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of an Indian blanket you'd find in a teepee. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteLike! No sash, please.

Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteOooo that background fabric is so pretty with all those colors!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Love those HST. I agree no sashing, looks great the way it is!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can't wait to see what you back it and bind it with!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love everything about it. Can't wait to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteWow - stunning as is!!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. They remind me of aeroplane jet streams, only much more colourful & pleasing to the eye! Jxo
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteNo sashing, please. It looks good as you have it in your pictures. It makes the eye jump about and take in all the color and where the lines are going. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day.
I Love that!!
ReplyDeletethose points are perfect! How do you do it? Always love your stunning work.
ReplyDeleteLove the impact of the fabrics in that pattern! I have been using the Heath in gray mixing with different prints and colors I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis stopped me in my tracks!
ReplyDeleteOMG Gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing this.
Inspires me to get sewing this weekend.
You've done it again! Too lovely!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Rita, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJust love it! Amazed how the AH heath looks so cool with the other colors!
ReplyDeletestunning!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The nubby look of the grey fabric is great. I didn't read through the comments, but I hope you leave it un-sashed: I think that the grey "geese" look great marching down the quilt while the rainbow geese head up.
ReplyDeleteSarah
GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteAs it has been said so many times before FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Those saturated colors are so yummy with that graphic gray. Delish!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Rita, this is so striking and bold. I love it!
ReplyDeletei.love.that.SO.much! what can't a HST do?
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make me love that semi-solid. :) When you first showed the progress on the sewing, I wasn't wild about it... but now I am!!
ReplyDeleteI love your work.
wow, this looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this background fabric!
Major HST crushing!!
