But yesterday, my evilly wonderful LQS owner sent me a link to Oh Fransson! and her new Tokyo Subway quilt-along. I was immediately taken, and even hours later was still scheming how I could fit that quilt into my list, even moving it to the top of the queue.
After many hours of contemplation, I decided to give in, especially when, at the advice of my LQS, I shopped my stash and found that I have enough fabrics to get started immediately.
40 by 40 2 inch squares is too big to fit into my schedule, so I'm starting with just a quarter. The lower right quadrant has almost all the colors, so that's where I am starting.
Then I noticed that I did not care for the long strip of bright color at the top edge, so I adjusted the size. Instead of choosing the lower right 20 squares by 20 squares, I'm choosing 21 squares tall by 19 squares wide. That is more pleasing to me. Fine, it doesn't follow the golden proportion, but that's life.
Next I have to lay out what I'll need to cut and get my squares lined up. Look for pictures to come, and keep your eyes on Oh Fransson! Flickr stream for photos of other people's projects.
