And we have a layout -- Ruth's blocks are now ready to sew together.
Here she is from another angle.
I also sewed the strip pair end-cuts together based only on nesting the seams and not putting the same fabric next to itself.
The not-yet-pressed strip assures me that Ruth will indeed be a color-story beauty once she is quilted/finished.
Here is the strip hanging on the design wall.
(I have three extra blocks for the top/bottom so the insert strip is long enough for the backing)
This closer up photo does a better job of showing the colors.

Beautiful!!!
The layout is great! It takes time to get the balance of color and value just right.
Ruth is going to be beautiful!
I really like this quilt. It's a fun way to mix up a 16 patch. I might have to make a version of this in the future... ideas already flowing!
What a warm and welcoming celebration of Ruth! Have fun finishing this wonderful quilt that is near to your heart and is also one-of-a-kind-on-the-planet.
Hugs!
Beautiful - I love the balance of your mix of colour in the layout.
Best of luck on getting the top together, Julie!!
