I think this might actually be the first one I finish. It's a purple log cabin square, consisting of two solids and two prints. Hazel has enough centers for 42 squares, or a 7 x 6 arrangement. Happily, she had finished ten of the blocks and sewn them together so I know what she intended.
It may be the first I finish as all the strips are cut, and, lucky for me, the only time I will have to match seams is when I join the blocks together. No bias, no points, just simple straight lines. Again, the prints aren't exactly my first choice, and I wouldn't be so fond of the solids as she so obviously was, but looking at the web and the books these days, she may have been ahead of her time with a modern quilt look. And note too, that even in a so very purple palette, she's still managed a touch of red.
What would you think if I removed the last two of the ten blocks and rearranged them more into a concentric light/dark pattern? I know there is a name for it, but I haven't used my google-fu yet!
The machines are still in the shop, so I've been organizing and sorting and planning and clearing. I should have them back by next weekend tho - fingers crossed...
