I have been working on some 4 patches in a rainbow of colors. My initial plan was to use them as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project, but I found myself needing more pieces for leaders/enders so I grabbed any color I could find.
Each block is made with two fabrics - a solid and a print. When I started this project, I had no idea what I would do with them. It was just an opportunity to use up scraps. Now I find myself with hundreds of these and it is time to think of layout designs.
My first try at a layout was to randomly put them up on the wall. I didn't like that at all. In fact, I didn't even get a photo of it!
Then I played around with colorwashing the blocks. Because I didn't have this plan when I first started, some of the blocks were very difficult to place.
Maybe another design would be better...
Next up was a diagonal layout in a repeating rainbow order. It was a lot of fun, but I knew I was going to run out of yellows and oranges.
I then considered turning the 4 patches into color blocks. I was going to turn all the blocks so they were going diagonally when I just decided I didn't like this idea either so down they all came.
I am now left with an empty design wall and a big stack of blocks again. I think I will step away for a bit and hope inspiration strikes again soon!
It is not like I don't have a number of other projects to work on!
