More fog both inside and out today. When I started cutting strips for In a Fog I cut strips for a couple more neutral quilts because why not cut up all those bundles of 12 inch widths for more quilts and work in a series. It makes me feel like an artist. I added some darker neutrals to this because I needed some contrast in value. So far I have been pretty random about placing the blocks but when I get all 80 sewn plus some extras I will arrange things by value and try to direct how your eye will travel around the quilt. I'm much more excited about this quilt than the first neutral. What did I learn on the first neutral quilt..........it needs more contrast in lights and darks. Thats why it is fun to work in a series. By the way this block is called Northwind. Linking to Patchworktimes Design Wall Monday. --Ann--
