I didn&#8217;t have a clear path moving forward on the project and needed a break.<\/p>\n<p>Between Saturday and Sunday, before we went to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/ggb75\/\" target=\"_blank\">fireworks<\/a>, I made an additional 60 blocks. The blocks are now covering my portable design wall. I think the piece is large enough, though I did consider sewing another 34 blocks for two more rows. I have to decide what I will do for a border, if I will add a border.<\/p>\n<p>The blocks are very easy to make, as I have said, but I wonder about the colors. I have a sneaking suspicion that ROYGBIV just does not provide enough colors for me. OR I could be forced to confess to the fact that I buy fabric in a small range of color families. In putting the new blocks up, I saw that similar colors ended up next to, or near, each other. Some weird quirk of quiltmaking fate?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13597\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13597\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/PICT1693-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13597\" title=\"Full Corner Store\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/PICT1693-sm-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"Full Corner Store\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/PICT1693-sm-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/PICT1693-sm-1024x857.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Full Corner Store<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After taking the photo of the new blocks, I put up all of the blocks and was pleased to see that the quilt is now starting to be large enough.
