Upstairs, Downstairs Part 2

      With all the strips sewn into blocks, I laid the blocks on the wall and tweaked the diagonal rows a number of times. Due to the excellent explanation by  A Left Handed Quilter,  I was able to get something that I like well enough. I took it down by columns that I will web sew at retreat later in the week.


I laid out the strips for each block on cardstock and stacked them for chain piecing.
Completed blocks on left. Tube sewn strips on tray.


Block layout stack ready for piecing

Completed blocks all clipped by columns for webbing.

Oh, my Linda...You must have fine focus and math skills for this...Looks like Greek to me...pretty Greek, but still Greek. Great job!

That looks GREAT! The ORANGE is going to dominate no matter where you put it - LOL - ;))

I really like this one, Linda. It is interesting how some of the colors worked out- some pooling, some causing a slightly random pattern. I am waiting for the final "sewn top" version with antici----pation!

This looks really good! I love it when it all comes together and it is never what you expect. Great job, enjoy the retreat too!

I am SEW looking forward to seeing these blocks come together, Linda!! It's encouraging that you found instructions that simplified the process for you. I'm hoping try them out for myself sometime soon!
