Thirty blocks up, thirty blocks down

     I was able to finish all 30 blocks for the California Thomas fire quilts for Carole. Although I downloaded the pattern block, there is no pattern for how the quilt goes together. When I looked at the black and white pattern, I thought half of the blocks were to be light and half dark so that is how I pulled my fabrics. However, when I tried to find quilts online already assembled,  the values and colors were sort of scrambled. Oh well, all my blocks go together. 
     I tried a couple of layouts on my design wall to see if I would want to make one of these quilts for a comfort quilt and came up with a couple of possibilities. I like the big diamond blocks, but it is asymmetrical and cut off. The blocks are 12 1/2" unfinished. Now, I have to pack this all up for Carole and see if I can find a backing to go with it.
