Gone Dotty - HSTs Finished

This is what sixty-four strip sets with five 3" HSTs in each look like on the design wall.    (If you missed Gone Dotty's introductory post, click HERE)

I plan to add a 3" border all around using the Brandon Mably Jumble (far right).  The spotted stripe (center) will be used to make binding and the Tula Pink Lemur Me Alone fabric (far left) will be used for backing.  I'll need to piece the back with a horizontal seam since the pattern runs the length of the fabric and the lemurs look silly standing on their heads or tails.

I like the way the graphic black and white border and the other two black-whites with pops of color help tie the whole project together.

I know I said earlier that what I have on the design wall would not be the final layout based on the inspiration quilt's arrangement.  But the longer I look at the HSTs laid out this way the more tempted I am to simply tweak their placement within each of the eight groups.

Little Man will be here this weekend so I'm not sure how much studio time I'll have since the weather is supposed to be reasonably nice and he loves to play outside.
