They go from very dark to very light.
From high contrast to low contrast and everything in-between. I am working with eight shades of green, each with six gradations of dark to light. There are yellow-greens, blue-greens, olive greens and bright greens. The combinations are endless.
And look at how my scrap pile grows.
The final entry date for the show is early September, but I have a lot going on between now and then including two trips. So I want to get this done. The quilt will finish at 64" x 48" unless I decide to make it bigger.
When I started making the strips it took me about an hour to make one and now I have it down to about 35 minutes. I had a whole day at home yesterday so I got a lot done. Hopefully this weekend will be productive, too. So far I have 65 strips made out of the needed 96. Then they all have to sewn together then quilted, but now there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm linking up again with Off the Wall Friday. Go see what everyone else is up to.

Positively yummy! The curves are very pleading and the colors! Oh the colors! It must be fun to be petting all that fabric. To bad about the deadline otherwise you would enjoy the process more. Are you sewing all the strips together or are they left raw edge? Looking forward to seeing the finished piece. Perfect for spring
looks beautiful -- can't wait to see how you will put the strips together
What a great combination, I don't think you can go wrong no matter how you put them together.
Very nice. I like the dark and the light panels, but I bet the transition will be very interesting.
These look fantastic. I can't wait to see how it turns out
really intriguing. I love curved strip piecing and your colors and repetition are great.
