After so many days of purples, greens, and grays,
I needed a change of pace color-wise so I pulled out
my Not a Mystery project for the U and U QAL.
I pieced ten more center string/strip sets
and trimmed them to 4.5" wide before
adding 1.5" red batik strips to the sides.
The red, green, blue, and orange segments
in the project box are wider and I will be
using those for the ends of the strip/string sets
to prevent too-small pieces in the block corners.
(I re-discovered them when I pulled out
the box to get my red batik strips)
Eighteen blocks done.
Seventeen more to go.
(these are on the wall in the design studio -
Catharsis is still lolly-gagging on
the design wall in my sewing studio)

Great punch of color today! Pretty powerful blocks.
Oh,my-- how wonderful; all that stunning vibrancy forming a lattice over molten caramel, I LOVE this!!
Wow! Those blocks will keep you going. Fabulous!
WOW! What is that background fabric that looks like you dug it out of a gold mine!??? I NEED to find some, soon! If you could include that info in a next blog post many of us would be SO appreciative!
Love, love, love this quilt! For some reason it reminds me of the Southwest, or maybe a serape. It's going to be spectacular.
Love this Julie! Your choice of the marbled background fabric is super, shows off all the colours in the strip piecing.
