I have been cutting, cutting and cutting; plus sewing, sewing, sewing all those 2 1/2" blocks that Bonnie loves. I have to say here, that I also love cutting and sewing lots of small blocks. I would rather make a quilt with a zillion small pieces than one with just a couple of dozen large blocks. I love the process and often wish it would go on a lot longer.
So - here is Step 1 - 2.5" finished pink/blue triangles, with the navy and yellow 2.5" squares.
Here they are sewn into their blocks - they don't look very scrappy - that is because I didn't have many actual small scraps to use, I only had larger (fat 1/8th or bigger) pieces in my chosen colours. Also the different materials are very much in tune with each other colour/hue wise.
Step 2 was supposed to be 2" green and neutral 4 patch squares, but I made them 2.5" squares. My reason for this - I wont be making many of these as I'm not sure if I will actually use them and if I do I can cut them down; if I don't they can be used in other projects more effectively if they are 2.5".
So - here is Step 1 - 2.5" finished pink/blue triangles, with the navy and yellow 2.5" squares.
Back to the sewing room for me for Steps 3 and 4.

I like you tone of colours, a lot softer than the brights on the original made by Bonnie. Have fun sewing.
Looking good so far! I will be interested to see what you do with the larger green/neutral 4-patches.
