Design Wall Monday, Blue OBW & Frolic

I have two quilts competing for space on my design wall.  I need to get the blue quilt put together and off the wall, so I will have room for Frolic.  Frolic is going to be set on point, and I know I will make a lot of mistakes unless it is totally laid out before the final sewing.  I also  have 2 small projects on the wall that I am not currently working on.  They are just there so I don't loose them in the chaos of my sewing room.


I'm really happy this year with  the colors I chose for the mystery quilt.  It was just luck that my light yellow happened to be a constant that will frame all the stars.  It was also luck that I chose gray, a color that doesn't compete with the rest of the block, and that the gray ended up being a kind of background.   I decided early on not to do all the matching sets for each block.  It was more organizing than I felt was necessary for a scrap quilt mystery.  I like my mismatched stars the way they are.  I have 17 more whole blocks to make plus the pieced side triangles and corners.  It's a lot of sewing!

Your design wall is looking lovely; there is a lot of work you have done. I too love your mismatched stars.

Your Frolic blocks are beautiful! The pale yellow lets in so much light and really makes the block shine. It's going to be a gorgeous quilt.

Your blocks look really great! I only did one BH mystery and you’re right, it is a ton of sewing!
