I started work on
The Stroop Effect project
in January 2015
as part of that year's
Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
When the pieces and parts were finally ready,
Since then I have lost track
of just how many times
I've sewn some of the parts together
only to un-stitch the seams yet again.

the series of posts for this project)

Earlier this month,
I sent the whole project
into hibernation.
And then,
only a few days later,
inspiration struck.
Within a matter of hours,
most of strata blocks became
this 16" x 24" table mat with
minimal DSM walking foot quilting.
I named it
Resolution Part I
But what about all those 4" letter blocks?
When I finally stopped
trying to spell words,
one thing quickly led to another.
Within 48 hours,
this top was sewn together.
Resolution Part II
measures
32" wide x 40" long
and will be quilted
in the very near future.
YES!!!

Wow, what a finish! Are you more relieved or happy with the results?
Yes! And Yes! to both quilts, Julie. It was a stroke of genius (and perhaps well-planned) to sew letters and backgrounds with the same fabrics (red and blue, rose and green, etc.) for a limited number of letters. Well done!
Oh I love it! What a great resolution! I love how they're all willy-nilly. It turned out wonderful.
Wow! Definitely inspired stitching. Both projects turned out beautifully.
Sometimes plan B is just as good or even better! :)
Wow! Love when inspiration strikes and solves those road blocks. Great solutions and what great quilts you have ended up with.
Yay! Way to show those WIPs who's boss. :)
I went and looked back at all the different things you've tried with these blocks. What a process it's been! I guess that is what creating is all about! Your results are amazing! I did keep trying to make words out of your letter quilt - that made me laugh! I guess that's just what our brains are programmed to do!
Amazing! Way better than the original plan. Who woulda thunk? Great solutions and fabulous use of color!!
rich saturated color and pattern. Love it as usual and want to make it as usual. Thanks girl! LeeAnna
Great resolutions! I like how the strata pieces create the illusion of depth.
WOW was my first reaction to your solution for the blocks. Then I read nearly the whole wiki article on the Stroop effect, because I'm a scientist. It makes sense, but your quilts both make far more sense, especially the random letters. Good finishes!
Interesting solutions to your design challenge!! Like Paula, I kept trying to locate the words in the "puzzle." I will be interested to see how you decide to quilt Resolution Part II.

Great solutions! Both are lovely. Especially like all the letters.
Fabulous! Love both quilts. Only words I found - did and dink.
Ooh, so fun! What fabulous solutions.
Inspired ideas!! Love the results.
I love both of these. Great finishes!!
Inspiration indeed!
I love your string block. I am glad you found a solution for both quilts.
Great ideas! The second one looks like a game of Boggle!
Resolutions 1and 2 were wonderful solutions! Super random yet controlled. Great job.
Both are magnificent! After all the ways these blocks tried to make you pull your hair out, you've corraled them into the perfect finishes! Hurray!
Amazing what a step back and a deep breathe will do! Great resolutions :-)
Perfect solution!! The first one looks like a stained glass window!
Love it!! What does DSM stand for?
I love your quilt! The letter blocks are perfect for an I Spy Quilt! My grandbabies would love this!
Fabulously inspired! Congratulations on a great finish! Thank you for sharing!
