Lifesavers .... the Quilt

 When I showed you my design wall a while back ( or maybe it was on facebook) someone said these blocks reminded them of LifeSavers... and so... I think that will be forever what I see with this one.

First - the jumble on the design wall!

All the blocks are finished - I had two strips of Blue left... so yay!! all the scraps have been used!


That's just a colorful mess right?? But! I used the scraps - and holee cow - there were a lot!

I pulled all the LifeSavers Blocks together and this is what I came up with.


I do have two extra blocks - but! I think I can make a placemat or something of them.  This is pinned and ready to top....

and then I started playing with the strings... I am not sure I like this layout yet - but maybe it will grow on me, or maybe I will see a better plan

Those green ones... hmm - not real sure I like them there - or even if I like them in this top - but! It can sit there for a while a ruminate ( that is a BIG word coming from me right??)

Anyways - that is where I am now... Slow progress - but still forward.
