Last Block Finished....Now What???


Yes, I finished the last block for Strips on Stripes this morning, but now what???


There they are, all on the floor....I'm missing my design wall back home.

I swear, at times like this I have no idea what I'm doing.....what is the best way to join these up?? Here I go making a huge mess, as I try to decide my next step.


 
A few layout possibilities.

 
Bring it to a different room for different lighting.

Audition a few fabrics for joining strips...who knows??? Sometimes the process is tedious other times things click into place immediately.....a little tedious today.

    Hi Joyce,
    I'll answer here, since you are set at no reply. I'll probably do a how-to in the future but have a few projects I need to get off the to do list first.

    Maybe this is a trite comment, but I must say: whatever you decide will be absolute perfection. Hang in there girl. It will click for you and be astonishing!

    Great blocks and they will make a striking quilt. Look forward to seeing what layout you decide on in the end.

    I just love your stips on stripes blocks. They remind me a bit of rag runners we used to have on the walls next to our beds when I was a child, but your blocks are of course more beautiful.
