I decided to make the blocks akimbo and use stripes for the background, but then I went wild and added a border of bright green, which I love but sister Lisa says is overkill. I realize that I'm ALL about overkill, which has been my main problem forEVER. And so, here are the beginnings of overkill quilting.
These are 9 of the blocks with "overkill" - hey, it beats roadkill - and tonight is our last class, so I shall lug in the blocks and see what Sarah has to say/suggest. She suggested the stripes, and I LOVE the fabric I found online. I went back online yesterday (obviously, I was avoiding grading essays) and spent over $50 on fabrics; I get so excited to piece textiles together! It is as good as writing a good analysis of a text, quilting quotations together and stitching the analysis into athe stuff of academia. Fabric quilting is much more tactilely satisfying. For the time being, that is...

Wow, and wow. Maybe just over the top...not overkilled.
