At the time, I wanted to just use this fabric, but I think, now, I will add some tone-on-tones or solids to the mix plus a background. These are all fat quarters so I won&#8217;t be able to make some of the blocks in the size I want, because I don&#8217;t have enough fabric.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with this fabric hanging around for years is that I don&#8217;t like it as much as I once did. I don&#8217;t dislike it, but it doesn&#8217;t use the clear colors I am now excited about. This is an advertisement for using fabric you are excited about when you get it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51081\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51081\" style=\"width: 264px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lozenge-quilt-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-51081\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lozenge-quilt-1-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"X Design\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lozenge-quilt-1-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Lozenge-quilt-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 85vw, 264px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">X Design<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The design of which I am now enamored is an X design.
