I am so addicted to making these blocks........I just love them..........
No 16
No 17
No 18
this one ended up looking a bit darker then the rest............
No 19
No 20
Another darker block...............
i'll just make sure they are in the corners.............
Layout options..............I took pics of all the main blocks and collaged them in Picasa.......hit shuffle a few times then I see what it looks like......picasa lets me drag the blocks around to even out the colours......and also put in the white lines/framing...........I can't fit in the fillers but this gives me a great plan...........
this one above got canned as I needed more blocks at the time...............
planning for 6x7 layout...........
this one is actually sideways...........
the top right hand corner is supposed to be the top left.........
i'll save this pic on my phone so it will be easy to access and see what I need next...............
Bring on the school holidays........
Catch you later.......

Very clever use of technology Chooky..you are almost there...love the layouts you are getting with the fussy cutting
What a great way to plan your layout. Very clever! Love the blocks.
Great blocks and what a fabulous idea to use PIcasa to lay out the blocks. I'm going to do the same with my current hexie quilt, all because of clever you.
Awesome idea to use Picasa, because who has enough floor space to leave blocks laid out for the amount of time it takes to make up your mind about layout!
Your Lucy blocks are looking amazing, you've really got a knack for creating those nice centres
gorgeous blocks, great idea for auditioning layout!

LOL, I think working out block placement must be the hardest part of the quilt process. I am soooo glad I am only making 12 blocks. Good luck!
Ich liebe auch deine wunderschönen Blöcke. du hast zauberhaft schöne Stoffe verwendet.
