Looking at these big blocks on the design wall I can see that the idea was to randomly build a log cabin starting with odd sized rectangles for the centers. I can see that I was switching from warm colors to cool colors. I believe the idea of this block was to cut the blocks in half and piece them back together with a different piece. I think the next step was to cut them again the other direction and piece two different ones together again. That step has not been done, and looking at them, I am not sure I want to. I don't feel like it will make the overall design any more interesting. Instead - I am finding the whole thing looking very green. I think I will instead add warm color strips on two sides before sewing them all together. Above is the pile of warm colored strips cut and all ready to be sewn on.
I laid everything out so I would stay on track with my plan.
It didn't take long to sew the strips on. When I had a piece that was too short I set it aside and when I had several of those, I sewed them together end to end to make a longer strip.
