During the three days with fever and chills, Smitten and I spent some serious quality time together.
At one point the back of the quilt was "up" and it struck me that perhaps my much-loved mix of light blues would make good side triangles for Razzle-Dazzle.
During one of my infrequent trips into the studio, I took Smitten with me to test my theory.
During another visit to the studio, I pulled out these pieces of yardage and a couple of pieces from the resource boxes to help visualize my idea.
(A no-reply blogger asked me about my resource boxes. Click HERE and scroll down to the Design Studio section for an explanation of my system.)
99 triangles on the wall . . .
Since I had a few of the black and white side triangles already cut, I decided to test a few before I cut into the light blues . . . and because these looked so good and made so much sense, the light blues went back into the stash.

These diamonds make me want to work on something similar. I love your white and black background fabric. It's a great choice.
The light blue would have worked, but the Black and Whites give a whole other look. Hope you are all better- take the vitamins and get rest!
Lynne giggles. Now there’s a big surprise!! ❤️
Blues would have worked, but I like the black on white better.
It's so easy to forget about the tabs a the top. It's been a while, I should go back and re-read the Studio Space and Fabric Stash tabs.
I'm glad that your fevered mind didn't win the side triangle war, Julie. The black on white prints work SEW well!!!
I LOVE this!!!
but I am so sorry about fever and chills.... You are tough to work thru it!
