I know, this hardly looks like I would have made it, yet I did. The bright scraps I found at an estate sale a few years ago. I knew the little scraps would work for this pattern and precut to boot, so I snatched them up. A few bigger pieces of green and red pieces were in the mix but didn't work for this quilt. Not just the size, but the color. In exchange I added a few orange pieces.. Fun brights aren't my usual MO but couldn't resist. And the black sashing print with those fun bright little circles? Yes, in my stash. And perfect for this quilt. Mark even asked me, Who made that quilt? He thinks it looks out of place here because it has no triangles. At least he didn't say it looked boring. Problem? Did I say there was a problem?
Since this is as big as I want to go, I have plenty of leftover brights to make a second version. I even have another black that will be perfect. Sure wish black wasn't so hard on the eyes. Gotta love those LED lights. Hopefully version 2 will commence tonight.

Wow the black really makes it sing!
It looks great, Gayle -- and sometimes it's good to sew out of your comfort zone!
